Property was very nice and the staff was nice. The tram didn't stop there on the weekend so it was a bit more difficult to get in and out of the city. The bus was fine, just took a bit more time.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The property was VERY clean, with new bathroom and was very quiet. Staff were polite and attentive. The one negative is that check-in is one or two floors up from where you arrive making baggage awkward and inconvenient. There is a lift but it is WAAAAY down a long narrow hall and around the corner.
