Modernized Stay with Great Breakfast

modern look tasty options

I was impressed with the modern look. The room was clean. Breakfast included tasty options. The price was reasonable.

The window blinds did not fully block the sunlight. Curtains would improve sleep quality.

a mixed experience at this hotel

poor reception service loose blind

The reception service was not great. I was told the reception would be closed until 3pm. however, when i arrived around 8 or 9 pm, i found a note saying "back in 10 minutes. " i waited and called several times, but no one answered for a long time. also, there were no proper curtains, only a loose blind that barely blocked the light.

lovely breakfast and spacious room!

easy parking ensuite bathroom delicious omelette

hotel split between three buildings, i find. parking was super easy. i park near the front door. the ground floor room was spacious. it had a large ensuite bathroom and was recently redone. i loved the full english, and my cheese omelette was also delicious.

i think the room could use a little more soundproofing. the window let in more noise then i liked. i notice this mostly in the morning.
