Reviewer Type: Couple
Travel Purpose: business
Positive: Location is great but for the loud music next door. Room was large and had some amenities. Had to ask the staff for missing amenities and room cleaning.
Negative: Cleanliness could be improved. Common kitchen area needs a stronger dishwashing detergent.
Summary: The staff are very responsive so talk to them if the room and amenities are not up to standard.
