This was a clean, family friendly hotel… and although I was disappointed when I first arrived, the place grew on me over the week. The location was fantastic, had great WiFi and the laundry facility easy to use. I did feel the place needed an upgrade. The couch was quite old, the air conditioner held together with Duct tape and the spatula was melted. The cracked chairs were covered with makeshift seat covers. There wasn’t enough room to hang all our towels and a clothes rack would have gone a long way. There was room in the bathroom closet for one too. Although the location was great, I still question the value for money of this place. I have stayed at cheaper and nicer hotels in the same area.

The room is like a shoebox is was a ex student apartment and the bathroom was small, have no hairdryer or extra shelve in the shower. bed was to soft, Sofa too low as it hard to get up not a ideal for age 50's or 60's. no extra blanket in the wardrobes. Also toilet roll are on the wrong side. outside view from the baloney no sun only building from other side of the Apartment.

Nothing redeeming about this hotel. Slow check in, terrible smell in the corridors, small bathroom, television on top of fridge, etc. The worst part is the hotel uses fake photos to mislead their customers.
