Convenient and clean hotel. Was a bit noisy on the night I stayed but that’s no fault of the hotel. Inside the room itself was quiet when hallway noise settled. Bed is comfy.

On Saturday morning I got in the shower and noticed it had not been cleaned properly and there was hair on the wall of the shower. I told the staff at the front desk and said I expected it to be cleaned properly. Sunday morning the same hair was still there and the shower had not been cleaned properly on Saturday. I expect a refund.
