I usually don't sleep well in hotels, but the Tryp was an exception. A pretty quiet room with a…read morenice firm bed. ZZZZZZZZ. Of course, the breakfast is always a treat at a Tryp hotel. Many healthy choices and a friendly staff keeping it clean and well-stocked (after the ninja attacks, see previous review by James H). There's a lot to like about the Tryp. Try it out.
