I was pleased to find the room very clean. The big television had easy access to my Netflix and YouTube accounts. The shower was particularly enjoyable, something I always look for in a hotel. The breakfast area had lots of choices.
Finding my way from the Royal National side was a bit confusing, I suggest guests watch closely for the City Sleeper signs.

I found the location convenient, close to several attractions. The shower was great and easy to use.. the water pressure was consistent. The décor had excellent standards, as the place was super tidy. The staff was always kind and happy to help with any questions I had.
The room could have used a couple more electrical outlets near the bed, as I needed to charge my phone overnight.

Abdullahi was very helpful at check-in. he told me everything i needed to know. he even found me in the lobby to let me know my room was ready early. I really appreciated that.
the shower didn't drain properly, the water backed up. also, i could hear everyone walking down the hallway and talking, especially early in the morning. it wasn't a peaceful experience.
