Sadly about 30 years after it's use by date. Fridge in room didn't work, and there was somebody else's ice cream in the "freezer" section (if it worked). Room was clean, and reception was good. Quiet.

Very soft bed, no good for anyone with a bad back. Freezer frosted up. Used soap still in the shower. But good value for money overall, if you don't mind a soft bed.

Real little gem !

The hotel is a real little gem, while outside style is older the rooms have been stylishly decorated to give a modern on trend feel. Bed was super comfy and the reception was very friendly and welcoming.

Room #2 was our initial room. We walked in and the floors had been damp mopped. .....horrendously slippery and dangerous. We thought turning on the A/C would quickly remedy this issue. After waiting a couple of hours, the A/C didn't not seem to be working. We were told it was very humid and that it would cool down shortly. After another 1.5 hours the room was still like a sauna. We were given towels to mop up the moisture on the floors but because the A/C was not cooling things off, we asked to be moved so we were moved to the next room, #1. It was convenient to move only 1 room over, however, still inconvenient with our luggage. The A/C was working perfectly in this room. I do understand there was only one person at front reception when we were there but the floors were dangerous being so wet and the A/C didn't work and the humidity was crazy. We were only there for one night so that's why we were not super happy with this.

The room was very unclean, thick dust covering any area not routinely used ie. windowsill, baseboards and corners of floors, above mirror and TV etc. Low budget building in need of upgrade. Did not know it was very close to an airport, loud jets going by consistently. No remote for the TV so was unable to use TV.
