Pros:

Spacious. Everything as per listing on Booking.com.
Allocated a room no. 714 with a beautiful view of the waterfront and sunrise. Soundproof windows cut out any ambulance noise.
Staff were efficient, friendly and forthcoming. Floors in lift are activated by the cardkey so it is great for solo and female guests.
The city bus stops and good F&B estabs are within walking distance.
The distance to/fro Intercity bus Hub is ok.

Cons:

Food spread for buffet Breakfast was quite basic but the beverages spread was better.
Would be better if the hangers in the wardrobe were changed to normal ones. They kept falling off.
