The room was very basic and not up to standard for the pricing paid. The aircon made so much of noise that I hardly slept and woke up very tired. Breakfast was an additional cost and being vegetarian there was only toast and fruit. The bread for the toast was so thin and unsatisfying as well.

Spotless but there were tiny ants daily in the room. I reported it to front desk. They were going to do something about it. Staff were courteous, professional and respectful. Breakfast was overall good. The service to use gym on sister hotel City Lodge is an excellent arrangement. I used it and thoroughly enjoyed the service.
Nice family friendly swimming pool outside hotel.
Nice breakfast served every morning.
The extended gym facilities at opposite sister hotel City Lodge.
Nice layout and sitting arrangements for breakfast and meals.
