The room was extremely cold, and the heater was not working. There was a strong smell of cleaning products in the room. The bed was soft and quite uncomfortable.

Customer service very good, I’ve stayed at this hotel a number of times in the last few months. It would be a much nicer stay if heating unit worked properly.
