The patio had a foot bath area with a great view of the bridge. The hotel is located on the 15th floor of a building comprised of other hotels on several other floors.

"Moved from The Grand Jordan so obviously was not expecting same standard but market down for property being well maintained as in the room several things had been tapped up where damaged and the carpet in the lifts had come up and taped down. A lot of it was just cosmetic which is why I thought just soft it properly. Not the hotel fault but note if you book through Expedia there is an important info section that highlights additional charges for both Gym and Infinity pool and normal pool and a fee for each separately. Otherwise can’t knock the location and does the job and good for the price albeit separate charges for services."
