The parking spaces were quite tight and the internal LED lighting in the room was a little over bright. The rooms had a good kingsize bed but were not well sound proofed from each other or the outside....heard room service attending for each adjoining room. For the age of the property, the rooms have been tastefully renovated.

Quiet and specious property. However, there are not enough seats in the living room, and the shower door of the bathroom was rusted.
