I was a little concerned, after reading other reviews, but we really enjoyed our stay. The room was large with a sweet little kitchen area, bathroom was nice & the bed was perfect. The hotel is in a residential area, which I thought, was very pleasant. The Sushi bar attached to the hotel was fab & at lunchtime was filled with local business people, clearly a sign that it is good. The receptionist was nice & always had a smile for us. In short, if I go to the velodrome again, this is the place where I would stay.
