Overall good location, value for money but be prepared for some noise.
Pros:

Convenient location and good value for money.

Cons:

Noisy disrespectful guests/residents on our first night partying around midnight and then again at 3am. If it wasn’t for them I would have said a great stay. Everything seems to echo down hallways so constant opening and closing of doors and talking makes it quite a noisy hotel unfortunately.
