Comfortable room

The room had been renovated and was lovely and clean, and has everything you need. The only thing was the shower head is a rainfall style and is quite large and in the wrong spot. The shower screen is not long enough to stop water splashing on the floor.

There was renovation work going on in the Property. The entrance to the Hotel was through the back and the carpets were smelly. Being on the 6th floor could hear loud noise. The room was clean but decor inside was old and closet space small and no safe to secure important documents. Its centrally located thats the only thing which we liked about the property.
