The main reasons we booked this hotel was because it is close to the events we booked and was within walking distance of the events. The hotel is very pricey but did was clean, had spacious rooms, and comfortable beds. The hotel has a restaurant which was okay. The day we were leaving, there was a huge marathon with ++ streets blocked off. We asked the reception staff for suggestions on the best options for us as we had to be at the train station fairly early; unfortunately we did not find the reception staff to be overly helpful as they didn't offer any suggestions! Regardless of reception, the hotel is is very nice.

I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of this hotel. The room was comfortable and provided everything we needed. The breakfast was delicious. The ambience and style aesthetic of the hotel was very nice. Off site parking nearby, was subsidised by the hotel and priced as you might expect for such a location.
