Disliked: Amenities
Nice place but seems to be a stopover for Chinese tourists. It also meant that the breakfast room was a mess and the dishes were all mixed up. As a parent of a child with allergies, this was simply unacceptable. The staff was very nice, but was this a real "Peppers" experience? - I think not.

The hotel definitely needed refurbishment. The chair was broken, the door was broken and needed fixing and the place could use a good clean. However the staff were fantastic, accommodating and very happy to accommodate us.
