the blue tram line was very close, so that was perfect for me. i also enjoyed a walk around the quay. the shower was awesome.
the beds were very hard and there was only one pillow on each bed. the toilet was very small and the room was very noisy from outside traffic.

cramped layoutmissing amenities
the room was far from excellent. space was definitely at a premium, with a layout that felt cramped. the lack of basic amenities, like tea-making facilities and even a simple glass for water, was a real letdown. i had to resort to buying bottled water just to take my medication.

I found the staff very helpful and friendly. They made check-in easy! the location was excellent for exploring nearby attractions. parking at the hotel was convenient and close.
the room design felt a bit dated, and the bathroom layout was unusual, with the shower opening directly into the bedroom.
