"This hotel was centrally located and generally met the description. I really appreciated the toiletries and fruit at the front desk, as well as the in-suite laundry facilities. Unfortunately one lift was down for maintenance, so there were some delays. Also, the pool water (and spa water) were cold. Sauna was good though. I thought the bathroom was quite cramped, with very little counter space, and shower leaked on the floor. Overall, the hotel met our needs, though it could have used some improvements."
