Pros:

Staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, the hotel is overall clean and well maintained. The rooms are quiet and well laid out too

Cons:

I did notice some areas of my room not cleaned when I first checked in - there were several long blonde hairs behind the tissue box when I made to move it to the bedside table (I have short brown hair). But this was a very quick easy fix that I managed to do.
