- Travellers wanting a pool and spa without a resort price tag
- Families needing space and parking
- Guests with accessibility requirements
- Those who prefer an in-house restaurant option
Less suited to
- Travellers on a bare-bones budget
- Those who want to walk everywhere and skip a vehicle entirely
Two pools and a sun deck
The hotel runs two outdoor swimming pools rather than one, alongside a hot tub, sun deck, and outdoor furniture. There is also a garden and a picnic area — a decent amount of outdoor space for a city hotel.
Rooms with balconies and spa tubs
Every room category includes a private spa tub. Most also have a balcony or patio, and the larger room types look out over the inner courtyard, city, or mountains — depending on which category you choose.
Spa and fitness on-site
The spa and fitness center sit within the property. Guests do not need to leave the building to access either. Bathrobes and slippers are provided, and room service means eating in is always an option.
Design detail: courtyard views
Several room types face an inner courtyard rather than the street. The garden and terrace areas give the property a layered feel — outdoor spaces tucked between the building's wings rather than simply a pool fronting a road.
