They also never made up my room. A 4 night stay and full bins, dirty towels & no toilet paper so had to go get some myself. The shampoo and conditioner was very poor quality too. Wasn’t impressed especially for the price. ##### Sharryn Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Ian 23 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Great location ##### Ian Stayed 8 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amy 25 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very happy as always - great location ##### Amy Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kyu Yeon 2 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Quick check-in and check-out process, great location, friendly staff, amazing break buffet and quiet at night. ##### Kyu Yeon Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 4 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort A really good hotel.
