Nice weekend getaway and very close to get around the city
Pros:

Literally right next to Spark Arena 😊 and our room was very spacious and tidy. The lady (I think Ivy) was very accommodating, friendly and helpful.

Cons:

Our room was next to the railway and you can here it at night and so sleeping was a struggle. One night, There was a kid too running back and forth at 10:30pm and it echoes in the hallway and building.

It suited my purpose, and the location was perfect.
Pros:

It was the perfect location to spark arena and I had parking right outside the door, the lady on reception was super nice. My room was very clean and it had tea/coffee and good basic amenities.

Cons:

Don't go in expecting it to be like a nice hotel and you won't be disappointed.
