Good location, good food & comfortable room.
Pros:

Excellent choice at breakfast. Room quite comfortable.

Cons:

Shower water flooded the bathroom, we needed to put towels on the floor. We couldn’t get served a drink in the evening as there were no staff.

It’s not good nor too bad.
Pros:

Accessible and very near to shops and stores.

Cons:

Toilet has no exhaust fan and rubbish bin. No place for preparing your coffee, difficult to do it as the powerpoints is near the TV that might accidentally make a mess around.
