Great location
Great location. Room was outdated and bed was uncomfortable. It was quite noisy and there was no TV signal either. We arrived at 2pm as our confirmation said we could check in then but when we arrived, we were met by an abrupt guy who said check in was at 2.30pm. After few words we were able to check in. Breakfast was average and had to ask for our table to be cleaned. The young girl who served us was great but the rest just looked as if we had spoken in a different language. Overall, great location but wouldn't rush back.
