It's actually good for the price - has everything but held in various places you have to find; our aircon was held together with sticky tape & there was little heat eventhough we had it on 27degrees C all night. The bedding is made up of a sheet & blanket type covers. Very difficult to move. Our friend next door had an electric blanket. We didn't.

I like the fact they had undercover parking so you don’t get wet carrying your luggage. Clean, comfortable beds and fresh smelling linen and towels. Would stay again
