The room was clean and comfortable and a nice modern bathroom with a nice big shower but the hotel was very busy and the room is not soundproof so the noises from the neighbouring rooms and the corridor kept us awake quite a bit. The staff were very helpful and polite. Ok for overnight or two but would not recommend for longer stays.
