spacious room good food choice helpful staff stained carpets old fashioned decor breakfast disappointment

The room I stayed in was quite spacious. Breakfast was good, with a decent choice of food available. All the staff were friendly and helpful. They addressed every request. I found the location ideal.

The hotel seemed a little tired. I saw stained carpets. The decor looked old fashioned throughout the hotel.

mediocre stay , some issues

poor soundproofing industrial light

the location was convenient , it served its purpose well enough.

the room faced the road , so sleep wasn't great. wind whistled through gaps , and every passing car was audible. a large industrial light outside stayed on all night , it lit up the room despite heavy curtains was great.
