Highly disappointing
Pros:

Location was good.

Cons:

Wasn’t told about having to pay an extra $100 deposit until I arrived. Paid for room in advance, then charged an unexpected $100 on arrival. Made me feel very unwelcome and untrusted. Was told when I paid it that it would be refunded when I checked out in the morning. That was a lie. On checkout, I was told it would take 5 days to refund. Won’t be staying there again. So dishonest not to include it when booking. The room itself was dated. There was a dirty towel in the ‘bath’. I asked for a bath. It was a small shub - not suitable for relaxing in. Only enough shower gel for one person, two tissues in the tissue box - all felt penny pinching and mean, for $260 a night!

Thankfully staff lovely and rooms clean so I suppose one could be forgiven since stay was just one night as location per
Pros:

Good location

Cons:

Rooms too cold … insufficient ability to heat it as heater supplied was very small but thankfully bed was warm and comfortable
Echos from hallway and I think pipes could be heard during night waking you up!
Bathroom very dated and layout awful …. Toilet blocks doorway and shower over a mini bath… these need to be improved for what we paid to stay here.
