Liked: Very, very clean rooms and good bathrooms. Fresh linen for free. Beds were comfortable and everything had a fresh and new feel. Cool bar downstairs.

Disliked: Had to pay for wi-fi and secure luggage storage. A little pricey on weekends for private room, but is of a very high standard so can be justified.
