The guest rooms are widely described as clean, spacious, and comfortable, with tasteful, modern decor. Some offer a lovely view of the mountains, and the windows are equipped with effective blackout shades to seal out the midnight sun. Though not overly large, the pool and whirlpool are widely described as relaxing and well maintained, too.
Many guests choose the hotel for its proximity to the airport and complimentary shuttle service. It runs every 30 minutes around the clock, and seats can be reserved at the front desk. Though the shuttle will also take guests downtown in between trips to the airport, travellers note that a rental car is the easiest way to explore the city; downtown is about ten minutes away.
Guests frequently recognise individual front desk team members and wait staff for their friendly, welcoming, and efficient service. The drivers are widely described as prompt, polite, and knowledgeable of the area, too.
Light sleepers have been kept up by noisy plumbing or street noise due to nearby construction. Some have found thin walls to be an issue as well.
Some hungry guests find the buffet breakfast a bit overpriced, while others are unimpressed by the edibles on offer in the club lounge, and wish they had not paid for the "upgrade."
Reviews of the staff are a little uneven; though the majority of guests are pleased with the overall level of customer service, others report huffy, slow, or generally disorganised personnel at the restaurant or front desk.
