Excellent location, just a few minutes walk from the train station. Facilities for younger children (play room, cartoon room), teenagers (table tennis etc). View from superior rooms in Floor 30 was fab. Room was great, breakfast had a good variety, great quality and nothing ran out. I would stay ...
