We loved the location and the room once we were in it. We didn’t like that we weren’t made aware of the building renovations and our room access was through either the builders materials or stacked up furniture.

The room had wasn’t hoovered and the bed was on a slope, there was no aircon, just a fan, but that just circulated warm air. We had to open the windows where the the noise was bad until 2am.
