Important things when staying at a hotel: 1. Safety; 2. Cleanliness; 3. Quality of sleep; 4. Internet. 1 and 2 were good. 3 was terrible. Couldn’t sleep most nights due to steps, noise and vibrations on the room above. 4. Internet was unusable.

Really good value for dollar, great staff, decent breakfast, on time shuttle service. The rooms were a bit noisy as the walls were pretty thin, but good value relative and reasonably priced.
