8/10 Good
"Lovely staff, helpful and happy. The rooms are modern, beds comfy, but the shower door didn't seal so we were left with a wet floor after every shower. We'd requested a quiet room, we certainly did get one which was great while trying to beat back jetlag; but were surprised that we didn't have a window... Quite a convenient location for those who like to walk about."
