    The parking arrangement is not pleasant. It at the back of the hotel and you have to walk right round to the street and back to the entrance. At least if there’s a back door for stayers. My bed sheets had a big stain but were clean.

    The room is exactly as in pictures and the bed is comfortable. We had a comfortable stay with enough towels also.

    There was no fridge, microwave and shower cap in our rooms. Only one room had a microwave and the other had a fridge.

    The staff were exceptionally nice and the hotel is neat and clean with private parking.

    Doesn't look impressive till you're inside room. Then you're in a nice hotel. Has great potential.

    No breakfast. Had to ask bar to turn down music (which they did). Currently doing renovations so minor chaos! Very noisy during rush hours/during the day.

    Exterior shabby, BUT ROOMS REALLY GOOD! If in different part of town, could be worth 1000 at least.
