The room was immaculate, and the shower stood out as really good. It delivered hot, powerful water! the location is quite convenient for accessing various shopping and entertainment options. i found the staff consistently lovely and helpful throughout my visit. parking was onsite, very helpful, even though it was chargeable.

the signage directing to the temporary entrance was somewhat tatty, because there was ongoing building work.
