Overnight stay for a work trip. Booked single room which was decent size and clean, comfortable bed, complimentary drinks/biscuits, good shower, air con and convenient distance to bus stops for my trip. Staff was polite and check in and our process seemless. No fridge in room but staff offered to place things in fridge with tags. Awkward to close the bathroom door due to space. Room 113. Would stay here again.
