Stayed at the Journal for 3 nights in between long haul flights. The hotel was perfect and had all the necessary amenities. Spotlessly clean and friendly staff. Used the roof pool twice, drinks at the bar were excellent. Comfortable nights sleep with blackout blinds and comfortable bed and pillows. It was my partners birthday the day we arrived and the hotel decorated the room with balloons.

Love the location and the staff friendliness. The amenities are decent and good to have in such a location. The hotel's complimentary snack time at the cafe was also very comforting for a writer. The most important to me was that the staff was always professional and friendly. Thank you for the memories.
