Room was freezing - set air con to 26 - still freezing- set to fan only still freezing. Turn off altogether- still cold. 2 thin blankets folded in half and still cold. Floor tiles damaged and scoured. Mattress was appalling - woke up with sore back. Hair in shower.

I did not have high expectations of this hotel but I must admit I was pleasantly surprised. The room was good. The 6th floor was great. Only one problem was that the hot water was not working one morning but it was building wide and the hotel fixed it within about 20 minutes.
