Beautiful room, very comfortable with great amenities. I really liked the water refill stations and the reusable water bottle provided. In a great location for the train station and bus station and next to a good little shopping centre.

A great location if you're travelling by train, as it's within very easy walking distance of the station. Also convenient for using the hop-on hop-off buses, which start and end at the train station. And the buffet breakfast is good. We never needed lunch!
