Average stay
Took 45 minutes to actually access my room after arriving at hotel as they say booking wasn't on system - didn't want to check by reservation number initially as they said processes to follow. So I could have accessed room immediately if they had used common sense and taken reservation number. Room was far too hot and they keep fans in the room as they are obviously aware of this. Fans are noisy and don't really help to create a cool environment. Also rooms are very basic, and not of a high decor. Also no tea or coffee in room and have to go down to lobby if you want it.

Personal opinion all rooms should have a minimum of a kettle in rooms , this hotel had free coffee machine in the reception but neither was working during our visit, this is the only negative.
