Property is tired. Telephone and safe did not work in the room. Blocked drain in the bathroom spewed shower water on the bathroom floor. Construction site noise adjacent to the hotel. Construction noise at night opposite the hotel. Room was advertised with a queen sized bed but was in fact two singles pushed together. Keep falling down the crack between the two.

It’s an old hotel. The outer windows were filthy. And there was a lot of building noise from next door. I had a terrible desert on the night and that convinced me not to buy breakfast. Overall, the pix used to entice me to book were a bit of a lie and deceiving.

The hotel lobby and ground floor in general is very nice and appealing but when we headed up stairs the halls were quite old and just the opposite of the fresh and lovely smelling, modern lobby. We did enjoy the self check in and check out. I thought that was very smart and the machines were very easy to use. The room was not bad at all and the beds were comfy, overall a nice hotel room, just hallways bring the vibe down ( old carpets, old paint just felt yucky). Staff were lovely and our daughter used the pool for a little in the afternoon, good value and with further updates of the hallways and lifts, im sure it will be even better. Room service offered was a great bonus and onsite parking Too! Overall really happy with our stay and the service.

Our room faced the street and the windows could not be shut properly. At night, the sounds from motorbikes and cars roaring up and down the street kept us up until past midnight. In addition, the shower head in our room was not able to stay in upright position properly and had to be adjusted every so often. The pool was small and cold, breakfast choices were limited. Overall we’re not impressed with the stay and would not return.
