Rooms are crisp, clean & modern. There is a restaurant on site which does deliver scrumptious meals to the room if you like. Conveniently located just out of the city.

I stayed here for one night on business and overall I like the hotel. The hotel itself is quite new and modern with a hip/funky feel to it. The room was neat although there was a hair stuck to the tile in the bathroom that was a bit off putting. Also there were pulled carpet threads where the sliding door... More
