a balanced experience

great location stylish dining sound proofing uncomfortable bed

i liked that the hotel had a great location near the cbd. we walked most mornings around the lovely park. the dining, bar, and pool areas had a stylish look.

The rooms were not very sound proof. I could hear a lot through the walls. the duvet cover consisted of two sheets. One underneath and one above. it kept coming apart all night, so it wasn't a comfortable sleep. the bed was also quite uncomfortable.
