It’s a nice enough hotel in a very convenient area. The rooms were satisfactory with a comfortable bed and a good sized bathroom to go along with it, the staff were friendly and helpful!! The breakfast was the only negative side of this hotel, wasn’t the best standard and for the price of it there wasn’t much options… other than that it was an enjoyable stay!
