Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
It was good. The room was generally clean, but there were a few signs that it hadn't been deep-cleaned for a while, plus there was only one plug socket i could use as the other two with the lamps plugged in were a weird round shape. The staff were friendly, but when I checked in, I was bombarded by a few upselling promotions, which I just found unnecessary and annoying after a long journey,

Overnight stay

Hotel room was amazing, bed was most comfortable I've ever stayed in. Felt like I was cocooned in a luxury. Only negative would be no room service which I feel these days is unheard off for a hotel of this standard
