Overall good
Pros:

Room was a good size and clean.No daily cleaning which isn't a problem except nowhere to collect tea, coffee, milk etc. Air conditioning but no instructions on how to set it up. Our room was quiet and the hotel is in a good location to visit the area. Fried breakfast size and quality varied on a daily basis.

Cons:

See above
