Pros:

It was a good location handy to everything and staff were very friendly rooms where clean tidy and spacious. The view from the room was lovely and it was nice and quite too. Getting in at night too if u were out after the doors closed was good and quick and the door man was very pleasant too.

Cons:

The only down side was rooms where very warm but that had probley something to do with the heat wave dat we had on our vist and sun shining through the window all day other than close the curtains all day to try keep heat out but that is all I can say.

Cons:

Avec des chambres qui sont orientées soleil de l'après-midi, une climatisation deviendra absolument nécessaire pour les prochains étés, surtout pour les clients qui viennent du sud pour chercher de la fraîcheur et n'en trouve pas finalement! À bon entendeur! Merci pour l'accueil!
