It was not a pleasant experience.
Pros:

The room and especially the bathroom were
clean.

Cons:

Breakfast was unpalatable and unappetising. Also, staff were not friendly or approachable. The shower cable was so short that you couldn’t actually have a shower.

Excellent stay at Centennial
Pros:

Excellent location. My room is at the back facing the car park. Very quiet and very comfortable. The room has recessed ceiling lights which are much brighter and nicer than many hotels with a couple of ceiling lights. There's car parking facility which is an added bonus. The restaurant served delicious evening dinner and the young waitress was very efficient and friendly. In fact all the staff are very welcoming. There was a good selection of breakfast choices.

Cons:

Nothing
