decent stay overall

prime spot short walk lovely view lack of cleaner daylight issue small room
i appreciated the very prime spot. it was a short walk to the bus station and rail station. the views from my 10th floor room were lovely. it was very convenient.
i stayed 3 nights, and did not have a cleaner. they did not empty bins or refresh supplies over our stay. the curtains did not close fully, so daylight came in. the room was quite small for two people.

Adequate Stay Overall

helpful staff comfortable bed generous upgrade unfresh breakfast plumbing attention water tap
The staff was very nice and helpful. My room had a comfortable bed. I had requested a room on a higher floor and received an upgrade to the 11th floor. This was generous.
The breakfast was not fresh. I found the plumbing needed attention. The tap either turned off, or it sprayed water across the room.
