The bit the hotel does not tell you

One guest noted that the 'lounge' is actually the gym locker room with two bathrooms and showers. If you are expecting a full spa, it is worth knowing that the wellness area is more limited. Also, the hotel is dog-friendly, which is great if you travel with a pet, but light sleepers might want to request a room away from the lobby if there is an event.
