This was perfect for what we needed, a clean room and bed for the night for a quick stopover and a nice hot shower. Simple, no fuss, barely interacted with staff as we arrived after hours and they were very organised and efficient. Will definitely return when in town.

Shower and loo like a portaloo. Only two powerpoints in room. Both over the sink, which is next to bed, not in bathroom. Nasty fluorescent lighting. Overpowering smell of air freshener. Won’t be staying again.
