Excellent food, plenty of options. My biggest complaint is not having someone at the reception desk who doesn’t have a strong accent. I needed help with a taxi and over the phone I couldn’t understand them and I felt very stranded in a big city

Good hotel located on a university campus. However, there is construction at the hotel and on the nearby road, so it can be noisy during the day. There’s no on site restaurant, and breakfast is a simple grab and go option.

Nice hotel. Unfortunately, an unknown when I booked the room, the hotel is renovating and there is construction going on around the hotel. Several things were not open like the restaurant and gym. A bit noisy. Inconvenient to meet Ubers and taxi due to road work. But overall a nice stay.
