Very clean room. Great location. I would stay again. It only dropped a rating from me, because they only provided two coffees (1 per person), the tv didn't work (no signal) and the check-in progress was a bit too long and the staff could of been friendlier and more helpful. But I would go again and it's perfect for couples.
