Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort
Our stay here was great. It was quiet, the room had been renovated, and for a busy location it was quite easy to get to. The only downside was the pillows were terrible and the parts of the room that hadnt been renovated were quite old and dirty. The really just need a deep clean. Mostly just the walls and doors so it was a little offputting, (and the door handle felt like it could almost fall off) but the everything else was fantastic. We stayed when at least half the rooms were full and again for the most part for the 2 nights we stayed, it was pretty quiet and we'd definitely stay again. Highly recommend and good value for money.

I was allocated a room with rooms above and was awaken with noise all night as people were coming and going either above or pass my room. As well, the entrance door which was not firmly positioned, moved with the strength of the wind AND it was a windy night.

Looks can be deceiving - from the street one would not think that the quality of room behind the walls would be as good as it is ! Clean, comfortable and oh so quiet !

Bathroom had mould on the ceiling and walls, no exhaust fan and vents painted over. Told reception and they were unaware of it. Needed to iron my shirt and found the iron had some sort of fluffy fabric melted onto it so I couldnt use it. Shower not particularly clean also and spa appeared to not be available to use. Room was over all rundown. Just an FYI attached restraunt looked okay but food was very pricy so decided not to dine there.
