The amount of dust everywhere!! Mattress on bed has had one too many ppl sleep on & I’m so glad I’d brung my own pillow! Don’t believe the picture of what the rooms look like especially when you think you’re getting a “superior “ room! I’ve stayed here a few times & it wasn’t as bad as this.

The hotel exceeded my expectation, check-in was easy, they even had the electronic checkin. The room was nice, the bathroom very clean, the hotel as a whole was clean and tidy. And really limited noise in my room. I didn’t have the breakfast in the end but they advertised some really reasonably priced breakfasts. I was attending something at convention centre and it was so convenient.. I would well recommend.

Liked: Cleanliness
The room had a small water AC in it. I was told the main unit was faulty, and this was all they had. I called reception and asked for a new room, and they said they are fully booked, and offered free breakfast or a refund. I went to reception and asked for the refund, and only then, they put me onto a lady who organized a room with working AC. If you advertise a room with AC, then you should not rent that room out without it being fixed.

It looks like the rooms have been updated since we last stayed and it’s an improvement. Carpet had some stains, shower grate was a bit flimsy and felt it might collapse if you stood straight on it. Bit of mould in grout but over an ok stay. Location is excellent
