below expectations for a low level hotel of this sort.
Pros:

Room size was adequate the room internals were reasonably equipped and working (mostly).
Concierge was 24/7 I think, although I did not test to the extents.

Cons:

Lack of daily cleaning services, breakfast had a hard start at 6:30 which was too late for the whole week I was there, take out options were very poor, so generally ignored. Breakfast on the Saturday I left was delayed further, just in time for me to not have it before leaving!
