different selectiongood breakfast
The breakfast had many different selections. It was fantastic. I could walk to all attractions because the hotel is close to the market. I left my vehicle parked.
The bed made a super loud squeak with every small movement. I didn't sleep well.

the breakfast had a pretty good selection of items to choose from and the staff was friendly.
the room i was given was very dusty with a dirty floor. it also had dirty cutlery, as though no one had been in it for a long time. the air con unit was an old fashioned and very noisy large floor-standing model.

The location was perfect for seeing the sites. The parking was surprisingly easy and cheap for my truck in the adjacent public parking arcade. The room was clean and well equipped. It even had a lovely balcony to relax on after a day of exploring.
The staff at reception wasn't helpful at all, even rude at some points.
