Pros:

The place was clean and adequate. The staff were friendly and helpful

Cons:

A lot of street traffic noise and although we were given the honeymoon suite, it was near the reception and with the 24 hour check in, it never quietened down.

We had a wonderful stay, a great night's rest and a delicious breakfast.
Pros:

The air-conditioned room could not have come at a better time. The bed is really comfortable, and we had a fantastic night's rest, followed by a delicious breakfast the next morning. Thank you to a wonderful hotel.
