Pros +
- Cleanliness, quietness, staff, open window
- Comfortable queen bed, powerful shower, and quiet air-conditioning. These were enough to make the stay a delight for me. Top marks.
- Location and modern decor
Cons -
- the tv, somehow expensive
- There was a couple of dark smudges on the floor so I had to give a 8, otherwise it's a 9.
- It feels like student accommodation.
