the room was spacious and modern.

The rooms are quite small and look bigger on the photos. there was nowhere in the bathroom to put anything on than other 2 very tiny shelves that were no bigger than a slice of bread. i did not like the unwillingness to help. The sarcastic tone was off-putting.

My room was a Double Room. It did not get any service between my two nights here. I also disliked the fact that the hotel doors were locked upon my arrival 30 minutes before the stated check-in time. This meant I had to wait outside. This situation is unacceptable!!!
