Pros:

The beds were comfortable

Cons:

The breakfast included was a continental breakfast which was not clear at the time of booking. There was a lot of noise overnight which I appreciate isn’t necessarily the fault of the hotel but something to be mindful of

Average
Pros:

The property and staff was good.

Cons:

The breakfast was below average. Not worth of money as had minimum to no options. If claiming a refund would be an option I would go for it.
