Convenient stay in city location

ample storage clean room decent lobby great staff

My room had ample space for clothes storage and keeping things organised, I found that very helpful. A supremely clean and tidy room met me, and the television worked perfectly. I could relax in the evenings. The hotel lobby was decent, and the interior design looked good overall. Staff at night were great, especially the young gentleman at the reception desk, I sadly do not recall his name.

During my stay the room lights were not optimal, as they provided a stark ambience , made relaxing harder.

Rooms

The room was spacious, equipped with dark mahogany furniture that gave a special antique feel. It was quite unusual. A big double bed ensured restful nights. This room became a supreme and unexpected plus . Blinds are partially broken.

harsh lighting damaged blinds

The room lighting really bothered me. It was harsh and unwelcoming. there were no lamps next to the bed, a real miss. the room felt quite worn, and i noticed the blinds were damaged, that's a shame. the bathroom had this stale cigarette smell too. It wasn't pleasant.

Straightforward and Functional Stay

fresh air helpful staff

My room had a window that opened wide, offering fresh air inside. The location proved convenient for my needs during my short trip. I found the staff to be helpful and approachable (especially when I needed directions to a nearby shop).

The walls seemed thin, and noises from adjacent rooms were quite audible. This impacted my ability to relax fully in the evenings. I recommend earplugs for light sleepers.

Rooms

The room included a television and storage space for clothing. The bathroom was equipped with a clean shower and basic toiletries. The bed was made, with clean linen and a set of pillows.

the key card on the door was replaced with a yale lock and i was told, 'don't lose that key because that's the only one we have'.
