1 night's stay, 2pax - good, can be better Rooms were clean & spacious - pillows were good quality, beds were a little too soft but that's just personal preference. Amenities were good, standard fare -bathroom was again spacious & clean, pretty ample space for one room. Staff were nice, though older female was more attentive on exit than the young male that initially greeted us on entry. Continental Breakfast this morning - basic, have had better elsewhere; attention to detail & presentation would help here. Overall, 7/10 - would stay here again, but at a push.

The room was excellent. The staff was nice. No security so in the middle of the night I was waken by some women smoking pot in the hall and talking very loud. Had to fight with them for them to leave. No one to call. Also, coffee machine was broken. Besides that everything was good.
