Rooms were very dirty, especially the bathroom & noisy from the traffic as it backs onto the main road & cars going by all night. They also never made up my room. A 4 night stay and full bins, dirty towels & no toilet paper so had to go get some myself. The shampoo and conditioner was very poor quality too. Wasn’t impressed especially for the price.

Great location especially to ICC. Hotel staff friendly and professional. Breakfast had a variety of options for all preferences. The room was clean and modern. However, the bathroom had an occasional sewer smell and some mould in the grout. Otherwise a flawless experience near everything. I would stay again.
