The room was clean and spacious, with european power outlets. I liked that the window could actually be opened. The breakfast had a decent selection (i really enjoyed the pastries).
There was a strange smell in the hallway on the 5th floor. The other was supposedly being replaced. The parking garage is very tight, with awkward turns.

The restaurant offered quick service with some dishes. the food seemed possibly reheated. the noise level increased suddenly during dinner. Conversation became difficult, and the ambiance felt more like a nightclub. the music seemed loud.
