Handy central location
Pros:

The standard room was lovely, felt much more upmarket than other standard hotel rooms. I really liked that it had a sofa in the room and it was a nice touch getting a gown and slippers. There was plenty space in the room too, and somewhere to stash my case in the wardrobe so I wasn't tripping over it all the time on the floor. The little lighted mirror next to the TV was great for doing my hair and makeup.

Cons:

I didn't like the hi-tech lighting, just give me an old fashioned on/off light switch! I also couldn't figure out how to switch off the air con, it was loud at night which stopped me sleeping.
