excellent service and convenient location

helpful staff quick arrangement comfortable beds

the staff was very accommodating upon my early arrival and quickly arranged a room change to the first floor when they learned of my husband's mobility issues. it only took them fifteen minutes. the room provided was comfortable (the beds were great). i really appreciated their help.

I noticed the bar closes relatively early. It shuts down at 9pm, or even earlier if business is slow, which limited evening options.

Facilities

8/10

the hotel offers good parking arrangements, allowing guests to leave their cars and explore nearby areas easily (i found it quite handy). this setup minimized the need to move the vehicle .

Dining

i heard a guest requested gluten-free bread, and the staff promptly provided it, showing attentiveness to dietary needs. the breakfast included tasty options, and the lady who prepared the sandwiches did an amazing job (i was impressed!).

Mixed Experience at This Hotel

cold room early bar

The room felt quite cold upon arrival. I discovered the radiator was off and I couldn't figure out how to turn it back on. I had to ask for an extra towel to use in the bathroom. There was only one. The bar closed early that night too, disappointing.

The room was clean and housekeeping was done daily. The location was great.
