We really enjoyed our stay and would came back to stay in the future.
Pros:

The staff were friendly and helpful. They made a conscious effort to offer us an alternative room after the initial room was not suitable.

Cons:

The initial room was very stuffy and smelled very strong of disinfectant which i was very sensitive too.
