convenient location excellent breakfast basic room poor view

The location was convenient. it allowed for easy access to the city center. the breakfast was excellent. I found many options available.

My room was basic. there was no fridge available, also, no glasses were in the room for drinks. the view was poor even though it was a riverside hotel. I saw a local street.

immaculate hotel stay

early check-in friendly staff beautiful decor

the reception staff told me if they could check us in early they would we arrived at 12 noon and the room was ready even though check in is usually 3pm that was very convenient. the staff were so friendly professional and helpful , made for a great welcome. the hotel decor was beautiful the reception area and the front sitting area were very inviting

there was a lack of parking spaces there were only around 8 spaces. travelling with luggage and bags made it a little tricky finding parking elsewhere. it was inconvenient

Adequate Stay

clean room helpful staff thin walls limited breakfast

The room was quite clean. Staff was helpful with directions to nearby attractions.

The walls felt thin. I could hear noise from neighboring rooms. The breakfast buffet lacked variety. There were limited options for gluten-free diets.
