Good location but room very outdated. The cups and mugs supplied were really dirty and there was only one tiny milk carton and tea bag provided per person, there are so small you’d need 3-4 per person. Staff were nice and the room was spacious

The staff were extremely nice and helpful, I arrived very early morning from a long overseas flight and the staff did I their best to get a room ready for me couple hours before the 3PM check in time. The room was extremely clean and modern and despite being on the smaller side with US standards was very functional.
