Clean room, staff helpful but sadly wasn’t the best sleep as could hear people constantly going past the room in the night ready for their flights. Would definitely stay again as broke up my travels and meant I could rest and shower

The room itself is very good. However, I gave it a 4 only because of 2 things. Ist is the presence of tiny roaches in the room, 2nd the bathroom smells urine even after the room service is done.
