Check-in and check-out was seamless (my first time checking in at a bar) and the staff were all wonderful. The room was clean, the bed comfortable and bathroom spotless. There are earplugs available to drown out the street noise. Getting to and from the airport is also seamless as the station entrance is across the road… we got to the airport in 15mins from leaving the hotel!

6/10 Good

Room was neat, clean and quiet. Good location. The security code access system worked well. The A/C unit did not work as it should as it did not cool the room and would shut down after a few minutes if set to "Cool" mode. Fan mode worked. As windows are sealed closed the room did get very hot and stuffy.
