"The hotel is in a nice neighborhood and the room was clean. The bed and toilet were both very low to the ground, and there were very few electrical outlets, but otherwise it was a pleasant stay."

10/10 Excellent
"CQ is a reliable brand as this property demonstrated. I was particularly pleased with the size of the room and fitness facility. Best CQ I have stayed at and would return. Two quibbles: No desk lamp, therefore a dark work area and no hand soap (use body gel? I bring my own). Housekeeping excellent."
