The smell of the cleaning materials used caused a mild headache throughout my stay, the pillows were too soft with no support, and there was no microwave in the room. Otherwise, the stay was great... great service, comfortable bed, and great staff!

We booked a room that was supposed to be deluxe we got a tiny room with stained floors next to the elevator that we hear all night long. Housekeeping was the only good thing they came and brought more pillows and coffee and made the bed for us every day.

I didn't stay there for shopping so I can't comment on that. It was a nice hotel, spacious and modern with friendly and very helpful staff. The breakfast had only one option, which was a full cooked breakfast, which I didn't want and which was expensive. They should have smaller breakfast options, such as just a juice and a coffee and a bowl of cereal, which is all I wanted. The area is very convenient for being picked up and dropped off. I was not driving so I didn't have to pay parking, which also seemed expensive but then I'm a traveller from abroad. Perhaps that's the reasonable rate for that area.
