It was good enough to sleep in. A little bit pricey for what you could get though.
Pros:

It’s a decent place to stay for one night. The room is clean (we didn’t use the kitchen) and the location is good for being close to shops and the highways. The air conditioning unit was noisy but worked well.

Cons:

The air conditioning unit was noisy and the breakfast offering was very minimal.

Cons:

Breakfast could of had a few more warm options we only got the option of making our own waffles, small omelets with cheese or sausage wasn’t really worth the breakfast

Stayed here a few nights due to the convenience of having a kitchen, the location and the cost. The gym is not great but otherwise I have no complaints. The blackout curtains were great. Super nice staff!
