Great as always, just a little noisier this time around.
Pros:

Great locale, clean, good value.

Cons:

We love this location however with the new Lu Lu nightclub rooftop bar, it kept up awake all night........It should have double glazing to prevent this. The light in the hallways for the interconnected rooms should be able to be turned off. Otherwise we love it> :)
