Overall, the stay was average, but improvements are needed in cleanliness and service.
Pros:

Parking was convenient and easy.

Cons:

The room was not very clean. There was no lift, and during afternoon check-in there was no staff at the front desk, so the waiting time was quite long. The blanket was not clean, the bed was too soft, and the hairdryer had to be collected from downstairs, which was inconvenient

small rooms, no natural light, comfy beds, nice bathroom
Pros:

the bathroom was very good, shower was spacious and newly renovated, the beds were very comfy, good parking and easy to get to and from the city, the restaurant downstairs was good.

Cons:

there were no windows and no natural ventilation to the room, we asked to move rooms and the other room had a white glass window but did not open so no natural ventilation. rooms were small so not much room to move around and the hanging luggage space was too small for 2 people sharing the room, perfect for a one night stay if you have no luggage and don't mind a lack of fresh air.

Great room, needs more staff.
Pros:

The room was great, decent sound proofing, comfy beds.

Cons:

The staff were absent, I sat in the foyer for an hour, I rang their phone 4 times before somebody picked up and sent someone to the front to check me in. Staff were walking around, I didnt know they were staff, but no one stopped to see if we needed help with anything. Even the guy that finally checked me in just said "I wondered why you were in here so long" I said, not to be rude, you didnt want to check? He responded "People sit in here all the time, it's normal at a hotel" maybe.. but not when it's a 5x2m foyer and I've been in here for an hour. Maybe it was just 1 bad experience, but it has put this place as a hard last resort for me.
