reliable and clean stay

comfortable bedspacious roomfriendly staffmissing telephone
The comfortable bed was great. room and bathroom sizes were spacious, which i appreciate. staff were so friendly and always said hello when they saw you. the lobby bar area looked very comfortable to hang out with friends. It was a popular spot at the end of the day.
i found the facilities in the room quite minimal. there were no tea or coffee facilities, and also no telephone to contact reception. the air conditioning wasn't working so i had to sleep with the window open and the noise from outside was too loud.
