cheap, nasty, & scary, didnt feel safe if there was a fire.
Pros:

air con worked well and love foamy spare blanket

Cons:

balcony was a joke, toilet seat loose, stove top wouldn't work, furniture cold hard and uncomfortable, no hangers in closet, TV impossible to figure out, stereo a joke as i could hear a faint noise of static radio when off but wouldn't work when on and a CD player is so dated and unusable, beds too low too small and cheap, bubbly foam spewed out of drain in bathroom after a shower and tv in bedroom wouldn't even turn on let alone work, bread board was filthy and embarrassingly unhygienic, parking out front impossible to get one so therefore very tricky to load luggage safely and securely plus the one and only trolley was wobbly and very difficult to fit through doors and into the lift with 2 people.

Pros:

Amazing location, very clean. Friendly staff and free parking outside during the weekend made it very convenient. Good sized rooms and close to lots of cafes

Cons:

Bed was made out of two single beds which were at different heights meaning the bed was on a angle. Would have preffered a double bed. We asked for this to be changed or to be compensated but nothing changed.
