King deluxe room was tired looking and relatively small. Amenities lacking, no teaspoons no shower cap etc. Property is clean and very conveniently located. Staff is wonderful. Don’t try to sleep on Saturday nights as our room had no noise insulation and we only managed to catch some sleep after 4 am when the relentless yelling, car horn honking and general drunken party noises stopped. Bring earplugs or perhaps avoid Saturday nights.

Unusual bedroom

Room 201 was presented as upscale room and was large and roomy. Unusual design where lower edge of bed directly in front of sliding door to bathroom. Slide out of bed into bathroom. Staff, elevator, room all good.
