Andrew United Kingdom

I had requested an early check-in and was willing to pay for the early checkin. Though the hotel allows early checkin only if you pay for a full extra day (which I didn't want to do), when I arrived at around 8am, they were able to immediately offer me a room which was great cause I took an overnight flight, had little sleep, so needed to rest up before a busy work day. The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful.

Sonal United States of America

Very nice, convenient location. Right around the corner from many things to do and see, very close to the main train station.
