Staff was great, room okay for 3 people. Breakfast buffet was good but did lack in the beverage section. Coffee machines broken, was there for 6 days and not one repaired, juices were almost always empty. Found that when bus tour groups were in need to have more staff. Felt bad for the staff in the dining area as they really worked hard to keep up. Hotel a little off the main streets but got used to it pretty quick.

We reserved a room with two beds but got only one bed. The room had no windows and no A/C, just an oscillating desk fan. Everything seemed to be run on a shoestring.

The hotel location is okay. The room location was very inconvenient, with the window opening onto the pavement near a relatively busy street. You can't keep it open because of the noise from the cars, while you can't keep it closed because you need some fresh air. There was no air-conditioning system. Otherwise, the hotel wasn't bad.

Grubby around the hotel. Used mug and half eaten muffin found in drawer. TV not connected. Shower curtain very stained.
Handyman pleasant when fixing TV and reception staff helpful regarding parking.
Location is the main positive comment as very convenient for walking into West end
