Overall pleasant stay
Usually happy with our stays here but this time had to ask for a room change due to excessive plant noise in floors 3&4 making for unpleasant environment in the room. Staff were able to reposition us thank goodness. Otherwise room was clean albeit chairs in unit need replacing - very uncomfortable.
