the hotel location was quite convenient, near several shops and restaurants. I found the coach service to the airport excellent. I was able to easily catch the tour coaches from the hotel too.
my room was pretty tired looking, with scuffed paint marks. The bathroom felt dated, especially the shower over the bath. I found the shower very hazardous even with the bath mat.
