Best for location, excellent value
Pros:

Exceptional location. Staff at check in and check out were fabulous. Nice view of the city from our room. Room was super clean, well stocked mini kitchen. Bathroom was spacious. Access in and out of hotel at night felt very safe. People within the hotel were friendly

Cons:

The interiour isnt the newest and could do with some touch ups - kitchen, bathroom, also the bed mattresses. The Tv was small but had a good range of channels that were free to view
