Lovely check in staff. Bed and bathroom very clean but a lot of dust in the room. The floor lamp base was very dirty and along the edges of the room but everything else was fine. Convenient location and as said, lovely staff.

Not bad by any means, but for the price and expectations this under-delivered. The room cleaners came into the room on a daily basis to tidy
