I was presently surprised at the comfort and cleanliness of the room. Most hotels at this price are not of this quality. I would not hesitate to recommend this hotel.

Aircon is portable unit, wedged in a corner next to the window/bed so took the room a long time to cool down, and also noisy. Despite the no smoking signs someone was clearly smoking pot in the hallway in the middle of the night, which smelled strongly INSIDE our room. Not great especially for our young kids.
