quick check-in coffee selection
The staff was helpful with a quick check-in. Plenty of tea and coffee were available in the room.
I encountered a second instance of poor service during my planning. I checked my spam folder. This poor service has led to a very low rating.

Mixed feelings about this place

small room single duvet
The room was VERY small. It was hard to move around the desk to get to the bed. There was just one spot to put a suitcase. The bathroom felt cramped in SOME places, annoying. The BIG problem was that there was only one duvet on the double bed. It might work for some people, but not for me.
