I stayed in the Standard Queen Room and it is very small and noisy. When i asked the staff about it they confirmed that all the standard rooms on the side are smaller and noisier (because they are next to the hotel's air cons) than the king size rooms that face the street. Level 2 is the quieter rooms. Very disappointed that they didn't tell me this when i booked and hardly slept because of the noise.

Top spot, room had all one needed from a comfy bed and 42 inch TV to makeup remover in the bathroom. Not the best view out the window, though.

We requested a late checkout on the online booking for a truck driver on his 24 hour break which wasn’t granted unfortunately. Windows in the bathroom are kept open which makes it noisier with the police station behind the car park. Clean, recently renovated, small room but good for an overnight, excellent air con.
