I stayed for one night in June 2008. Its a very nice, modern, sleek hotel with good parking underground. The reception staff were quick, efficient, helpful and friendly. My room was on the fourth floor and therefore I had good views from the landing as the walls are glass, with great big comfy chairs to crash in and take in the view!
Room had all mod cons, I faced the back of the building so it was quiet (but more on that later). Windows only opened a crack but aircon was good. Shower powerful and big (walk in rather than bath) and the TV had a good selection of movies. Free internet as well.
As the hotel is a little outside the city centre (like two blocks or so) I didn't bother venturing out as I hadn't researched good places to eat. And I'm glad I did as the food in the restaurant was fantastic! It wasn't that busy so it was served quickly and the waitress was (a little overly) attentive and brought me what I needed.
There's also a nice outside decking area by the river with tables etc where you can sit with a drink.
The bed was fine, OK night's sleep, however I was woken about 8am by a truck outside emptying bottles into a crate. I don't see why these jobs have to be done early in the morning when people are likely to be lying in - its a hotel for goodness sake! Do it in the afternoon or evening when people aren't in!
That aside I had no quibbles. Breakfast was OK, scrambled eggs were not good but everything else OK. Check out process was quick.
One problem which I've seen here before, which I also experienced, was the cleaning staff entering the room. I had the "do not disturb" sign on the door, but when I was packing up two knocks came and the door opened! I raised the issue at check out and they said they would bring it to the duty manager's attention. They really must get this fixed as there's more than one review here that mentions it, and I experienced it too, probably the most recent person to do so.
It didn't spoil my stay but took away from it being perfect.
