Price was reasonable. Location was good. Included breakfast was good and convenient. Hotel staff all friendly. The room was slightly tired looking with two sad paper cups the only cups. No glasses whatsoever for water or other drinks. Paper tissue dispenser was empty after one tissue removed. Noisy children running in corridor late evening.

It was good. We booked it because it was close to airport. Wasn’t too happy that the cabs were parked a short distance away and we had to walk to them, but all in all it was a good place to stay.

This property is undergoing renovations, which I understand is essential, but informing guests who are sleeping directly underneath is not too much to ask. Housekeeping was lacking and many of the door openers for accessibility don’t work.
