TV did not work; I mentioned to staff, and they said it was an IT issue. The room was too hot, and no one checked it. The lift is not working... going to the fourth floor is an adventure. Not good. Friendly staff

The rooms are small not good for family but good for couples. Beware that this is new hotel a lot of amenities are not properly installed yet. The bathroom with bathtub has really awkward glass door, can't open and can't get in, once you get in you will find hard time to get out. Overall nice, new, perfect location, quiet, staffs are friendly.
