For the price, the location and room were excellent. The room was much larger and better equipped than various similarly priced places I've stayed nearby. The staff were all friendly and helpful, and having 24 hr reception was also convenient. Can be noisy sometimes eg late nights on weekends, but it is expected given the location. Would stay again.
