The lobby impressed me SO much with its modern design. The staff was very cute at check-in and helped with all my questions about nearby attractions. I found the location very convenient as it allowed easy access to a nearby park and the tram station. I look forward to returning soon for another visit.
There was a slight delay when I requested extra towels one evening.
