Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Staff are amazing and friendly. Room is always clean and restocked. Only thing is not a great selection of channels for kids when we were in for the evening.
Hotel itself is spartan but clean and quiet. Good bus and train service but a long way from downtown and tourist attractions. Discount mall nearby and shops for Indian and Muslim community.
Not as safe after dark. Several bars just up the road with shouting and police sirens at night.

Ok for price, but no seating other than one stool. Plenty of room for a small sofa or lounge chair.
TV didn't show local free-to-view channels.
Generally clean but carpet on stairs filthy.
Very comfortable bed
Property on arrival had towels everywhere on the floor. The room we stayed in had not been vacuumed and although we stayed for 2 nights, they did make the bed and give us new towels, but still didn't vacuum. I wear glasses and even without my glasses on you could see the dirt on the carpet. Thats why my husband and I never left our luggage/bags on the floor and had to wear our shoes until we went to sleep. Plus side is the Hotel staff were nice, its just a shame that the deluxe room we paid for didn't feel "deluxe"
