No hotwater after 10pm for some(if not all) part of the third floor. The AC is also too loud, the fan control makes no difference. Some of the toilet is also too small.

Family of 4

The front staff was warm and welcoming. We recieved free bus passes with our room, which our 4 yr old was thrilled about! Taking the bus in an activity alone for littles. The room was clean and well maintained. The only “complaint” one could say is the coffee machine was finicky but it did work.
