attentive staffmini fridgeconvenient locationtired decorill-fitting curtainspoor soundproofing
The staff was attentive and moved me to a quieter room upon request. A mini fridge with drinks was available. I appreciated that the location was close to shops.
The room decor seemed a bit worn. I noticed the curtains did not fit the large window well. I also could hear noises clearly from the adjacent room.

I found the staff very warm. They gave a friendly welcome and farewell. my room included a refurbished bathroom with a rainfall shower. It felt really refreshing. the bed felt very comfortable and ensured a good night's sleep. i appreciated the room's cleanliness. Everything seemed well-kept.
the curtains in my room barely fit the window, so i had to adjust them carefully. this took a little effort to ensure they were fully closed. it was a minor issue, but it did require some attention each evening.

the staff was lovely offering useful information. i found convenient parking available near the hotel which was a relief. breakfast offered many choices including high quality food. the location proved ideal close to shops and restaurants allowing for pleasant exploration.
The room felt a bit small. A king size bed meant there wasn't any bedside cabinet space on one side. it was still manageable but slightly inconvenient.
