Internet is good.Room was serviced but no fresh hand towel supplied and bed not made up.Also no shampoo only body wash and conditioner.The room has no toaster or bowls and spoons so breakfast is a challenge.The room was spacious and comfortable and the bathroom clean , the room was on the road side of the building and the road noise was constant.Overall it was a good stay despite the shortfalls.

The room was very run down with several lights not working and broken fixtures in the bathroom. Mine and two other cars had their windows smashed over night in the hotel car park. Two staff members were helpful in cleaning up the glass.
