Room was clean as pictured and staff friendly. Only problem was there is no elevator (lift) to other floors and I was travelling with elderly parent with mobility access issues. If travelling alone I would come back as it was very clean and staff helpful. If travelling with elderly parent I would chose different hotel that can meet access needs.
