Fantastic Find!

clean room helpful staff

The room was very clean and bright. The staff were very helpful and always courteous, I thought. I will stay again when visiting the area. I found the WIFI worked well in all areas, a major plus for keeping connected.

I had problems with the room. The main road nearby created noise. I was woken by noisy repairs.

some ISSUES. during the stay

dusty surfaces slow bar service

The room was NOT very clean. I found dust on most surfaces. The bathroom had hairs in the shower. It was GROSS. The bar service was slow and seemed disorganized. Ordering drinks took a LONG time. Staff training is REALLY needed.

The check-in process was quick. My room had comfort. The location allowed for easy access to nearby amenities and thoroughfares. The cost represented good value.

The single teaspoon available for tea was insufficient. I would have wanted more hospitality tray items.

Really good Value and Friendly Service

clean building value money friendly staff easy check-in

The building's cleanliness, both inside and out, made a positive impression. The room itself was also clean. The value received was pretty good. The staff members were consistently lovely and helpful. I found the check-in and check-out processes very straightforward and efficient (much appreciated!).

The provided bath towel and hand towel situation was a bit unusual, considering the room was intended for double occupancy.
