Closer to centre than I thought as don’t usually stay on that side of railway. It was a blessing as there was roadworks outside one hotel and work on the towers at another. Room nice but plain, bathroom very good. Quick check in and room available early. Staff very helpful.

This place was Tall. Good AC. Bed were fine. Only one pillow. Decent location about five minutes from food and 20 from shopping center. Small shower that is standard it seems. If you are a tall or wide person you probably wont enjoy it much. Staff was great room was clean and comfy. bathroom was clean and bright. Would stay again.
