Disliked: Cleanliness
Horrendously uncomfortable bed. Woke up with terrible back pain. The bed springs can be felt when lying on it. The windows were so thin you could hear all the cars passing by. The front desk staff was also rude. I wish I had paid for the Novotel instead. It would’ve been well worth it.

The room layout could not have been better, plenty of space to open 4 large bags off the floor/bed. The staff was extremely helpful as we arrived very early. They held our bags and gave us some ideas of things to do.
