Qube Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"It was a very quiet setting. Very comfortable, I only wish that I could have understood the lady at the front desk better but she was very nice and I wish there was a protein of some sort on the breakfast bar but overall I would definitely stay there again. I also wish they were a bit more Pet friendly but there was plenty of walking space."
