Central Stay

helpful staffspacious layoutshort walkdated furniture
The helpful staff answered questions about the local area clearly. The room had a spacious layout and felt comfortable. Bus 727 stops at Adelphi. It's a short walk from the hotel.
I found the colors and furniture in the room somewhat dated. The shower head wasn't great either. The sink plug didn't fit, so I couldn't fill the sink easily.

excellent city center stay

spacious roomhelpful staffoutside noise
I found the room quite spacious, including a comfortable two-seater couch and an armchair around a coffee table. This was great. staff members were friendly and helpful, i was presently surprised with the size and cleanliness of the room. daily changes of towels were appreciated.
our room faced market street so i had a sleepless night. there was steady outside noise throughout, it seemed a window had been left open. traffic and pedestrian sounds were very loud. if i return, i would request a room at the back of the hotel.

adequate stay, but some issues noticed

constant hummingweak shower
my room faced some sort of mechanical equipment. it created a constant humming noise throughout the night. i also found the bathroom fixtures quite dated. the shower pressure was weak, and the grout needed a good cleaning.. these issues detracted from an otherwise acceptable visit.
