Food was ok, my bathroom was without Shampoo or Soap during my 3 night stay. I asked the cleaners but still none. I bought my own from a local corner store in the end.
No Shampoo or Soap in Room 493 for 3 days.

The location seemed like a business district. It was difficult to get street parking anywhere and to find eating places in walking distance. We were glad that the hotel had parking and restaurants.

The location was great. One of us had stayed there before which was the reason we booked at this hotel. This room was different to the last. Initially, we were pleased that we could have the window slightly open throughout the night.
The bed was not good, I woke up with sore hips throughout the night because of the bed. I have travelled reasonably often for personal and for work and not struck this before. The toilet was smelly, like old and possibly leaking. The bathroom was unusually tiny, the shower so tight I kept knocking my arms against the rails (and I am only a small person). The noise of the air conditioning units (outside our window) also disturbed our sleep so we had to shut the window. The room was very warm with no controls to bring down the temperature. When we arrived (after 2:00 pm) the receptionist advised she was changing our room as our assigned room was not ready.

Too small cereal bowls at breakfast 😂

Staff at check in were very friendly. Check in went very smoothly. Reception area was very clean and welcoming.
Cleanliness of our room was not what I would expect. Layers of dust on furniture. A large number of cobwebs behind curtains. Toilet paper not refreshed, no milk left for coffees. NO air conditioning which was hell due to the high outside temperature.
