Staff were friendly and helpful but the hotel is in need of an upgrade. Breakfast was good with plenty of variety but The Atrium Restaurant was at the opposite side of the hotel to the kitchen and had a limited menu.

Good basic comfortable clean accommodation, ensuite clean and all working fine. TV & internet ok, bit of a drop out now and then. Tea/coffee minimum, no decaf options (you can ask but request isn't sustained) and no biscuits. Single rooms on 7th floor with no lift so you have to walk up from 6th floor. Restaurant food is basic portioned-up fare and special requests can't be accommodated, better to eat out. Good luggage deposit service. Handy for transport links. Front door isn't fully automated, so accessibility not easy for those with mobility issues, needs a door staff presence.

I recommend you do not stay at this hotel. The building is under a major renovation, and has been since October we were told. We were not told about the construction noise from 8 to five everyday, and lack of hot water from 10 to 5, until after we paid. There are other hotels in the same area for a similar price. Noise levels of 45 to 65 db due to construction during most of the day. It was not possible to talk to each other in our room during the day, and forget taking a nap. Even after the construction workers left for the day, hotel staff were active in thr halls removing debris from adjacent rooms until late at night. Called a number of times for a different room, which was met with indifference from line staff and supervisors. I could not find any reference to this problem on either the hotel or Expedia's web sites until after looking at the recent negative reviews once we had been there for a day and a night. If we knew then what we would have to endure, we would have canceled our reservation long ago and booked elsewhere. We had booked for 5 nights and were told there are no refunds or discounts.

Let’s just say that this review is 5 start only due to the excellence of the hotel staff. Sorry for the long review, I wish I knew the hotel was under renovation. I wouldn’t have booked it. When we checked in, the front desk informed us that the repairs and maintenance will happen daily between 10-4 pm (no hot water during that time). Even though it’s kinda early for us, we understand and respect it. However, what we didn’t expect was the noise of banging and drilling started at 7:30 am. We were not the only ones upset about it. I felt so bad for the staff. The management should have coordinated better with the time and the sections being repaired. After expressing our concern that we still have few nights left, they moved us to another room on another floor and offered us complementary breakfast. These rooms were newer and half of the size. I am 5’3 115 lb. I couldn’t move around much in the room with my two carryon size suitcases. Unfortunately, the next morning the noise continued and strong smell of tar came in thru the bathroom vent. At this point, we were tired and frustrated. We decided to check out and find another hotel. With the help of Expedia and the hotel manager Andrea, the nights we didn’t stay was refunded and offered 1/2 refund on the last night we stayed. I am grateful for the accommodation. All this being said, wait until renovation is done. This hotel is clean, comfortable, conveniently located and the staff is really friendly.
