Comfortable
Pros:

Location was fantastic. Great views of the bay. Well surrounded by restaurants and cinema. Nearby bus stop. Easy walk to train station.

Cons:

Not enough plug points in the room. There were none next to the bed. The one on the dressing table wasn't working properly, as my phone wasn't getting charged properly. Had to use the one on the floor.
