Comfortable, convenient and well located
Pros:

Clean room, great size, good comfortable bed. We’ve stayed before. It’s a great place to stay and close to good amenities and shopping. Also close to the motorway though you can’t hear it at hotel, it’s lovely and quiet.

Cons:

Perhaps a more cost effective breakfast.

Great breakfast. Nice room, but you can hear noise from the hallway and you could hear some conversations from other rooms via the ventilation in the bathroom.

Great value for money, proper air conditioning, very pleasant stay!
Pros:

The cleanliness, the modern contemporary feel to the room, the friendly staff, the air conditioning, location. You cannot go wrong staying here, very pleasant staff and will definitely book to stay here again, highly recommended!

Cons:

I am hard pushed to dislike anything to be honest, possibly the double bed being a little on the small side but nothing else really.
