The room was quite spacious with a big bathroom. I liked the idea of opting out of having my room cleaned if staying more than two nights for a free drinks token from the bar. the staff was also very helpful and friendly. i had access to the carlton hotel nearby for facilities like the pool and gym.

The wifi was limited and kept dropping out. This was a slight inconvenience.
