Great location. Friendly front desk staff. Not so great in terms of cleanliness. Drinking glass had a ring of someone else’s drink left on it, bottom sheet on bed came untucked as soon as I got into bed, revealing a stained mattress. Aircon in room was noisy and we didn’t sleep well. Dated TV. We forfeited our second night and left. I’d try a different accommodation option in the area next time.

Staff and location were excellent. Big negative was the hotel room thermostat was sent not to go below 19.5c. Uncomfortably warm at night. Asked the staff to cool the room off more… they said they could not. Would not. Unacceptable for a “quality” hotel.
