Very comfortable
Pros:

Was local to where I needed to be. Bed and room facilities were great

Cons:

Being on my own and placed on the ground floor with many signs stating to keep all doors locked, I felt unsafe. The restaurant meals were amazing but only having one staff member on to greet, seat, serve food and drinks was not ideal.
