a really nice stay

town centrelarge televisionhelpful staffold building
I have visited this hotel. the location is pretty convenient, near the town centre. the room included a coffee machine and a large television, which i found very convenient. staff members were friendly and helpful, especially elsa at reception. She was efficient.
the pictures used to advertise this hotel i think must be quite old. a refurbishment is needed. it seemed like an old abandoned building as i walked through the corridors.
