Perfect location

Perfect location. Rooms being closer to train station and lively streets were surprisingly quiet. It was within walking areas you want to go for food and entertainment. The staff was very friendly and wanted to make sure our stay was good. It was very clean beds and pillows were comfortable my main priority after location and cleanliness. Love the chain.

Well i was quite disappointed to be given a room that looks dirty, dust everywhere and hair on the floor as if the latter has not been hoovered.. Upon bringing the situation to the manager, he upgraded us to an executive room. I was again faced with a dusty room and now with a wobbly toilet seat which was later fixed but still felt same. I was very disappointed as i felt let down by the hotel knowing that we are paying quite a lot for the stay.. The really need 2 work harder on the cleanliness of the room. The staff was very warm and friendly.
