Great location. Could use a little replacing of items
Pros:

Location

Parking

Cons:

Beds need replacing.

Sinking in the middle and when 2 king singles are pushed together we got the hard join of the edges in between us all night whilst we sunk in the middle of each individual mattress.

And poor hot water.
Both evening and morning in showers the next day ran out of hot water very quickly
Also bathroom complimentary soaps and body wash etc were all very poor quality compared to other places I've stayed for same price.

Soap did not lather and shampoo conditioner were very below par

Pros:

It was so central for our trip.

Cons:

I’m not really a fan of the glass bathrooms but that is a personal preference. The bathrooms are clean and well appointed.
