It was good and comfortable
Pros:

The rooms were beautiful, particularly the bathroom finishes. The hotel seems recently renovated and as the facilities were still new and I love that they have various charging facilities including a USB-C slot on the wall. The breakfast has a lot of variety. The staff were helpful and friendly.

Cons:

The elevator was not cleaned, the Wi-Fi was slow most days. The bed was generally low and small for my requirements. Having a toilet brush can really assist as you do not have to wait for house-keeping to clean the toilet area.
