warm reception convenient location comfortable bed

the hotel offers a warm reception, and i liked the convenient location near a park. the bar had many alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks with plenty of seating. i slept soundly because the bed was large and comfortable and my room was a good size.

the room's temperature control was difficult as it kept being too hot or too cold.

dark room uncomfortable bed

the location was good for visiting nearby areas.

the room i had was quite dark, something dark wall paint and a small window didn't help. the bed was also really uncomfortable, (i think) the mattress needs to be replaced. i was pretty surprised that there wasn't a single drawer in the room.
