a decent experience

comfortable bedgood breakfastaccommodating staffmain roadno air conditioningcar noise
the room was a king room. it had a very comfortable bed and was spacious (i slept like a baby). the breakfast was good with plenty of choice on offer. the staff at the desk were very accommodating.
the hotel is beside a main road. the room had no air conditioning, so it was hot at night. i had to keep the windows open, which let in car noise from the main road.

Excellent Staff and Convenient Amenities

separate seatingchildren areagreat breakfastcar noise
The lobby provided separate seating areas. These included tables and internet connections. I noted the area for children featured child-sized seating, toys, and games. The buffet breakfast had a lot of choices with pastries and fruit. The room included tea and coffee facilities.
The location by a main road resulted in noticeable car noise with the windows open. The heat made it necessary to keep the windows open overnight. The noise from traffic was disruptive.

The rooms lacked air conditioning, I found this uncomfortable. The noise from the main road also bothered me. I could hear cars late at night. Shower gel was not refilled either, it was an oversight.
