the location is prime. it is very close to many shops and restaurants. i found transport very easy to access from the hotel. i also appreciate the proximity to gardens.

i found a motion sensor a bit disruptive. it kept shutting off the power if i didn't move enough. this was especially annoying when watching tv.

the motion sensor in the room cut off power every fifteen minutes if i didnt move. this meant the tv shut off mid-movie, and my husband's cpap machine stopped working during the night. i had to wave my arms constantly to keep the lights on, not how i wanted to spend my vacation.
