Liked: Cleanliness
Good breakfast options, beds were comfy and particularly liked the vinyl flooring in the room for cleanliness. Downside: toilet had a poo stain so made us wonder if it had been cleaned, and also the sink in the washroom was much too high for our toddler to reach to wash hands/brush teeth.

Basic but no problems and good service

Basic hotel with excellent service and a nice complimentary breakfast. No extras (e.g. restaurant, gym, office centre) but everything was clean and staff were super friendly. The hotel is in an industrial area with a few restaurants nearby. I was travelling on my own and was satisfied with the hotel.

Gets the job done, but has drawbacks. No sound attenuation. You can hear the shower upstairs and hear neighbours. A basic breakfast is available, which is nice. During my stay, power was interrupted which was inconvenient.
