Not worth it for a short stay. Horrible sleep.
Pros:

Check in staff were friendly. They were also available late.

Cons:

Room had horrible ventilation, and the shower drainage was almost non existent. These two factors together led to a huge moisture build up inside the hotel room (even with the windows open and bathroom fan on!!). As a result the floors got really slippery all around the room smoke alarm went off at 1am!. Staff came and removed it (seems like it is a common issue, they knew about it) and offered us a late check out even though we had to leave before 10am anyways. We saw cockroaches as well, which makes sense given how wet the room gets. The other facilities, including tv were all average.

Pros:

Room was nice though was a little dated. It could do with a general make over. The TV was good, shower was good. Bed was very comfortable. Desk was easy to store stuff on. Lighting was easy to use and you had different levels of adjustment. Nice bar and restaurant.

Cons:

Toilet was right behind the door which made it feel cramped. No exhaust fan to remove steam in the bathroom. Towel holders were right above toilet and difficult to get too.
