Pros:

Location. Staff were friendly

Cons:

Room smelt damp because of the shower curtain. Breakfast very basic on plastic plates and random mix of cheap cutlery. No water filling stations but charged $6 for small and $8 for medium sized bottles of water. Most hotels nowadays try to cut down plastic use by providing water stations
