Cynthia, May 2025
Pros (+) Great location, attentive and helpful staff. Room was a pretty good size; had to do a bit of re-arrangement with the chairs and coffee table to put the luggage down. One good feature was the sliding doors which enabled the bathroom area to be a private space.

Pros (+) Staff were absolutely amazing. So friendly, helpful and the service on par with a 5 star hotel. The location is good , beds are super comfy, public bath is great and the amenity product was fab.
Cons (-) Wish they had more facilities from gym to a comfy area to hangout it. The lounge was too small for the size of the hotel.
