I found the location central (everything felt close!). The staff offered amazing service from check-in to departure. I really appreciated the fruit plate and complimentary water upon arrival. It was a nice touch. The bathroom was very clean upon arrival and properly sanitised.

The road noise from my room on the second floor (room 210) did affect my sleep. The soundproofing was not adequate to block out the constant traffic.
