spacious roomgreat drink selectiongood chinese food
I found the room quite spacious. The hotel features a great selection of drinks available at the bar (particularly for whiskey enthusiasts). The Chinese food served was also quite good.
The en suite facility felt a bit small, as it seemed carved out of the original room.
