Love convenience location but when you booked in app you will got old Building. Like a small kitchen in the room. Tiny Dishwasher was surprised me. Smart tv box is excellent for my Entertainment. Only problem was hot water temperature when showering. It's hard to control stable warm. Too hot and too cold. The towels supposed to change after second day stay that notice in the bathroom but it changed on fourth day of six days.

Lovely location close to everything, check in and out was really easy and the amenities are great with a mini kitchen built into the room. I would recommend staying in the new block as everything is newer and cleaner.
