Joanne

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room was a good size, modern and clean, with the bed being really comfy. Air-conditioning worked perfectly, and the front desk staff were super friendly and happy to help me get to and from my events. There’s a taxi rank right out the front, and the secure off-street parking was a big plus. Buffet breakfast runs from 6–9 a.m., and there’s also room service if you feel like staying in.

Rooms are very dated and in poor condition. Bathroom tiles were missing and floor got wet every time we had a shower and became dangerous. Air conditioner was old and noisy. Had to turn it off to be able to sleep. Would be very hot in summer.
