Overall the property & stay were comfortable, Only complaint is the ‘way finding’ signage at the front of the property could be clearer. Raised this with reception staff on check-in.

Good location

The hotel is in a good location, close to dinner options and transport. Friendly staff, good restaurant. The aircon in the room was noisy... the rest was fine.
3-night trip

8/10 Very good

The cleaning staff here were particularly good. Wi-fi was good, too. The room was spacious and comfortable, except for lack of a desk and microwave. That's on us, though, for not looking for those things specifically. I just haven't been in a hotel room without a desk since I can remember, so I didn't think to check on this. Otherwise, everything was great.
