Solo stay

As a solo female staying here didn’t feel very safe. The lock on my door didn’t work, there was lots of shouting, slamming doors etc. In the middle of the night. There was soggy toilet paper blocking the sink, didn’t feel very clean either. Likely wouldn’t stay here again

Clean, friendly and convenient location.

Fantastic location. Hotel was spotless, big comfy bed and staff were very nice and engaged. We had three in a room which made it very snug with the sofa bed filling the room. Walked into the frame a few times. But it was spot on.
