the hotel offered a hot breakfast buffet each morning which i thought was awesome. i had a family room that featured air conditioning and smart tvs, a great setup! the hotel manager i spoke with seemed very friendly and helpful.

I noticed the front desk was not staffed 24/7. I wondered what to do if i arrived late.

The location allowed easy access to public transport which suited my needs.

The bathroom fixtures seemed quite dated. I spotted a cracked basin and a wobbly toilet seat. It seems odd to start such work so early in the day at a hotel.

The location was good as it allowed easy access to nearby attractions. Breakfast was satisfactory, and I appreciated the value for money. I also liked the onsite parking. It made travel easy.

I found my room had a musty smell, something i did not like. The air-conditioner leaked on the floor during the first night. Supplies like coffee and milk weren't replenished unless i asked
