The room was clean and a good size. The breakfast was excellent with a lot of variety. Ricky, Millie and Enya were friendly and efficient. The young lady at the front desk (didn’t get her name) was extremely helpful. The location of the hotel is walkable to city centre and there is a train station very close. Only cons were the shower curtain and the toilet was a little weird. Small issues and I would recommend this hotel as an excellent value.
