For families, many rooms feature a loft-style additional sleeping space, with twin beds or a double bed, providing flexibility for families with children or groups of friends. On a mezzanine level, it’s good fun for kids with a small staircase and cubbyhole for additional privacy.

The Living Room also features a Pantry, Bar and dining area where guests can purchase and prep meals.
For business travellers, the Living Room is a great co-working space and there are additional facilities to support this setup.
Service
From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with a warm welcome and made to feel at home. Dropping the formalities of a check in desk, it’s more relaxed with roaming staff in the communal area able to assist on more of a personal level. The staff members were always on hand to provide recommendations for local restaurants and activities, and were quick to respond to any requests I had.
