The hotel is located centrally and was good for our purpose of attending a rugby match at loftus.
Pros:

The room was larger than average and had sufficient space for luggage. The room itself was clean and neat , the bed and linen was comfortable and clean.

Cons:

The bathroom is dated , the shower is over the tub and I struggled to fit comfortably both with the narrow tub and the low shower head . The tv was small for its position and distance from the bed .The room itself was extremely noisy from noise from the street, no noise proofing on the windows , even when closed .

The breakfast location were we were taken to was not great because the food was cold and also there was no variety. Next time the hotel management should plan better.

It was okay for the price we paid
Pros:

It was okay in general.
The outside garden is well maintained.

Cons:

We went to watch a sporting event, which the hotel group sponsors. Yet, there are no shuttle services the hotel offers, apart from being redirected to a third party, the hotel and venue are 3km away from each other.

The carpets need a deep clean in the rooms.
