Room was good size, quiet, clean. Bathroom could do with a bit of tlc... cracked floor tiles, shower was cheap and feeble. Breakfast was ok, toaster didnt toast very well, fried eggs sat in grease. Would give it another try though.

Be mindful when booking this property, rooms located in the Courtyard are NOT per the images. Far smaller and very outdated. Also, the rooms are INCREDIBLY noisy. We were awaken on our first night at 5:42am by a hotel worker taking a phone call in front of our room window. Second night was not much better, awoken before 8am by team emptying bins.

Nights stay

Ok for one night stay. Bed and bathroom were lovely, no complaints. Room big enough. Only downside my room was behind the elevator so could hear it moving up and down.
