Clean, comfy but quite noisy.
Pros:

Clean, had all the things you could need, location close to shops and eateries. Good breakfast.

Cons:

Walls were very thing, especially as there was the adjoining room, our neighbours were up going midnight on the phone and again from 6am. We could hear every word. Really annoying as it was a night off from the kids 🙈

Perfect stay during a very very hot period
Pros:

Rebooked a night in a different hotel to here because of the heat wave and availability of airconditioning in the room. Didn’t disappoint in the slightest.

Cons:

Breakfast is very crowded and choice of bread and toppings / spreads is a bit limited. But overall still very good price quality wise.
