Comments: A pleasant surprise. The hotel is at a very busy intersection but the courtyard view rooms face away from the streets and have no outside noise at all. I couldn't even hear any noise from the lounge in the courtyard itself. The position of my room and the height meant I couldn't really see the courtyard though lol. Upgrade given at check-in. I didn't ask for anything.

Comments: ​​​ Huge upgrade and frankly a bit of overkill for a one night stay. I went out for a long dinner with a local friend so I barely got to even use the living room. Upgrade given in advance on the app.

Comments: A bit surprised that I got no upgrade at all considering it was a weekday during a relatively slow time of year and the hotel is quite large. I checked in relatively late (20:30) and suites were showing on the app.​​​​​​
