Carl Sandburg College

I stayed here when it was previously a Virgin Hotels property. Very little was done during the change over. My hallway had a terrible smell, thankfully the room did not. No housekeeping unless you call daily. No lobby experience at all, it's connected to a coffee shop where you receive 1 voucher for a coffee or cookie. Staff were very nice and helpful, but it's a basic stay. I would only consider for work and probably not again. The rooftop bar closes at 7pm now and only allows guests, before it was open much later and was a selling point for having a bit of a nightlife. Anyway I'd call it a 3 star hotel and price dictates this as well. Also note the main restaurant in the lobby was being renovated which didn't help. It's a value for money stay.

The instructions on how to access the room were excellent and the room was well maintained and well stocked. Excellent choice for the price and location.
