Clean Rooms, Good Breakfast

quality pillows smooth process

The beds provided excellent comfort with top-quality pillows I found the rooms clean and well-kept upon my arrival. I also appreciated the easy self-check-in process via the Greyline bus service right from the airport. The service made my arrival very smooth.

My room had only one small light and felt dim I think additional lighting would significantly improve the room's ambiance and overall comfort.

Adequate stay overall

plentiful breakfast strategic location dark room cramped space

The breakfast was plentiful, with LOTS of options. I appreciated the easy walk to the places I wanted to visit. The artwork was AMAZING!!! There was also a chessboard in the common area my children loved.

The room was a bit snug to get around the bed. The rooms were clean but VERY dark. The lighting contributed to this issue. I found this somewhat unpleasant.

The hotel has free coffee available. The kitchen had all the necessary items for meal preparation, which I found very useful. I was able to easily cook meals from the supermarket nearby. The hotel has a calm atmosphere, which I enjoyed.

The breakfast room felt small. It got crowded easily during breakfast hours. The illumination in the room was too dim for my liking. I wished there were brighter lights.

I appreciated the convenient parking. The parking space was available right in front of the building. This made coming and going very easy. The hotel stay included breakfast, and I was surprised by it. I also found a restaurant nearby, The Loving Hut, it offered delicious meals at reasonable prices.

I found some cleanliness issues. There were hairs of previous guests on the bed and floor. The bathroom lights did not work though. There was also no soap available in the bathroom.
