Great spot to stay but hotel bathrooms need to be renovated or plumbing needs to be addressed.
Pros:

Location is great

Cons:

The pipes in the bathroom smell; needs to be addressed; room 06 is where we were staying from 25-28 March. This is the second time we have noticed the pipes smell!

Unfortunate your location was across the road from Police and Ambulance station so my night was enlightened with sirens.

Cons:

Bed was comfortable

Pleasantly relaxing and comfortable.
Pros:

The convenience of the place. The room was a good size and the beds were comfortable. The balcony was an added bonus. The kitchenette meant you could stay in to relax, should you wish to just chill.
Staff were friendly and polite.

Cons:

It was not possible to hang two towels on the rail, in the bathroom. Hooks behind the door may have helped.
Also with two people in the room, a bigger bin in the kitchen would have been better. Especially as it was not emptied daily.
