Great location, secure parking and lovely appointed rooms
Pros:

Location, design of the room, furnishing and comfy beds. The rooms were nice and dark which was great.

Cons:

It was a little noisy at times however that wasn’t something that I couldn’t change if I used earplugs. The room was a bit warm for my liking would have liked the temp a bit lower.
