The place was very clean and nice. there was a problem with the king mattress. It felt like a bar was in the upper portion so we had to sleep in the other bedroom. But location was great.

Room was perfect and very clean. Great location. Check-out time of 11am was great, however this was ruined by the housekeeping team who were chatting very loudly from 9am. I understand they have to do their job, but I don't think it is necessarily to be shouting and laughing between rooms, when they are aware guests are still trying to sleep? Anyway, overall I gave 4 stars, would have 5.
