There is a smoking room in the lobby and the smoke pours out into the lobby and into the second floor of the hotel. Even our room which was on the third floor reeked of cigarette smoke. The front desk staff was not very nice either.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay - out very spacious and comfortable home away from home. Everything from check in with welcoming attentive reception staff to other staff, the view from the room, the location, the ambiance/ decor - this hotel is recommended. The only negative - no coffee provided in the room or at reception.
