Pros:

The room was clean, bed was comfortable

Cons:

No smoking area - no ashtray outside of the hotel = huge pile of cigarette buts directly outside the hotel entrance. Fire alarms need to be improved, false alarms constantly really aren't acceptable - a shower shouldn't cause an emergency evaluation

Pros:

It was close to the centre and clean. Simple continental breakfast provided in my booking. Underground secure parking.

Cons:

It was very basic and I'd prefer carpet over tiles in the bedroom/living area as I could hear a chair scraping in and out on the tiles in the room next door until early hours of the morning. Carpet would help with soundproofing. Amenities were quite simple and plain but the room served its purpose.
