Solid Stay

friendly staff great assistance clean room adequate space

The receptionist provided great assistance by indicating places I should visit. This was helpful as I missed them on my previous visit. I will book at this location again sometime next year because the area is lovely. I went on with my travels around the city without issues. The hotel offers breakfast that includes some variety. The staff members work hard and are friendly. I found the room clean with adequate space. It included bus routes to the train station, handy for travellers.

The room was a bit old and could use a refresh. A general stale cigarette smell lingered in the hotel which was unpleasant.

Dining

The breakfast buffet included a selection of pastries, cereals, and fruit. Hot options like scrambled eggs and bacon were available too. Coffee and juice were available from self-service stations.
