This is in a very noisy part of town due to the traffic. The “deluxe “ queen was definitely not deluxe - the room was small and bathroom tiny

Our room on our previous stay was bigger and a bit more comfortable. Can be a little noisy at peak times from the main road. On the plus side, the bed was comfortable and the split air conditioning was awesome. Good value for money
