I found the check-in process seamless with all details communicated beforehand. the room had a microwave, a kettle, and a hairdryer. coffee, tea, and sugar were available. That was a plus (i love a good cup of tea!). i could easily get to the city center using nearby bus stops.
the noise from the main door disturbed my sleep.

the location worked out super well for getting around. i was messaged all the check-in details way before i arrived. the room included a hairdryer, microwave, and kettle which was great.. plus they had coffee, tea, and sugar!
the pillows and pillowcases were stained, a bummer. the mattress protector also had stains. the tv wasn't working either even after the builders tried to fix it.

Comfortable Stay Close to Attractions

spacious roomclean roomloud slamming
The room was quite spacious and very clean. The bed was comfortable. I stored luggage after check-out. Staff accommodated that request. It is in walking distance to attractions.
I found the door closers caused loud slamming when other customers came and went, especially disruptive during the night.
