Amazing Time at This Hotel!

convenient parking fast wi-fi clean dining area helpful staff

I found convenient parking right on the hotel. I used free Wi-Fi and it was fast. I ate some breakfast, it was amazing, the dining area was very clean. The staff are friendly and very helpful to me!

The vending machine lacked some water bottles. It was a very minor issue for me, I found a shop nearby.

city centre plenty of food dusty pillow dusty mugs

The breakfast had plenty of food. The location suited my needs for visiting the city centre (it was quite convenient).

Some minor issues affected cleanliness. My pillow was dusty on arrival and the mugs in the room were dusty too.
