beautiful bathroomcomfy bedbig televisionfriendly manager
The bathroom was BEAUTIFUL!!! The bed was super comfy, and I had plenty of pillows to choose from. The room included a big television. This was really nice after a long day. The manager was friendly. He assisted me with directions when I asked. My husband had a great time playing pool!
The internet connection was somewhat unreliable.

The pizzas were AMAZING!!! There was also an excellent selection of beers available at the bar. This was GREAT!!! A gin distillery located nearby has several options. I'd recommend that for gin lovers.

The decor was indeed modern throughout the hotel. A pizza from the bar was also very tasty. I found it convenient that supermarkets and coffee places were nearby. Very helpful if you forgot your charger too.
There was no breakfast available on-site.

The room was clean. I guess that is the bare minimum one can expect.
The advertised wifi was practically nonexistent. I could not even load a simple webpage. also, the 'stylish bathroom' lacked basic toiletries, such as soap, which i found amusing! i had to call reception to ask for it.
