Noisy room

Our room on the second floor had no external windows so the room was always a bit dark. The main issue was that the room was noisy. The air conditioner , bathroom fan and general traffic were all noisy. A very standard hotel room.

We did not get our room serviced once in 3 days despite requesting it on the room indicator, towels not replaced, had to call reception to restock toilet paper! Car park was a joke! Had to pay for parking that was near impossible to navigate

Room was cheap....but not so cheerful

Not the most restful place to stay. Room felt like size of a cupboard with no permanent window (there is a window cutout in door). Ceiling very thin and heard every step of person in room above. .

Uncomfortable ground floor rooms

The rooms on the ground floor werent ideal. I could hear music from the lobby playing late into the night, and had to ask twice for it to be turned off. The room had light spilling in through the windows, and the aircon was ineffective.
