Sina

Liked: Staff & service, amenities
Disliked: Cleanliness
Our room was well-priced, but the bathroom fan didn’t work and the bathroom wasn’t as clean as it should be - some mould in shower seals, stray hairs from previous guests etc. The room is quite noisy - corridor noise travels right through doors and better soundproofing would help a lot. We were by the elevator and it was noisy all night. Staff were excellent and helpful, and beds were comfortable with great linen. Great location and easy parking.
