After staying in several smaller hotels in France and Belgium with "character," it was pretty nice to stay at this outpost of a global hotel chain, with most of the features one would expect from a Sheraton. It's a soul-less corporate hotel room, sure, but at least it had some space for luggage, and a spacious shower. I learned very quickly that I tend to take things like that for granted. The beds weren't great by any standard - they were on the small side - but they weren't the worst I've ever slept on.
As for location, eh, could be a little better, could be a lot worse. You're not right in the more fun part of Brussels, but it's only about a 1.5-2 mile walk, which isn't all that bad considering Brussels is by no means a small city. If you don't feel like walking, there's a tram stop less than a block away, and one of the trams will take you there.
The parking garage, especially after a long-ish, tiring day of driving, was like a bad joke. I'm well aware that we were lucky enough to even have *a* parking garage, given how there simply is zero space in the older parts of all European big cities. But still, it's so difficult to get in there, I don't see how people aren't constantly bumping their cars into the walls. I did it, though, with barely any space to spare....and that was with a rental economy-sized Volks. I have no idea how people get in there with larger cars.
At first glance, it doesn't seem as if there's much in the surrounding area, but if you do a Yelp search, you can actually find a bunch of highly-rated, small locals-type restaurants well within a half-mile of the hotel.
Similar to the vast majority of chain hotels, in-room Wi-Fi is somewhat costly, while lobby Wi-Fi is free.
Relatively close to fun stuff + good nearby restaurants = "not bad, I'd stay here again." read more
