main shopping street friendly staff comfortable bed number of steps lounge area bus access

the hotel is located on the main shopping street. shops and restaurants are very close. the staff were friendly, and the bed was comfortable. the breakfast had all i needed.

the entrance has a small door up a number of steps from the street. the hotel had no lounge area. buses can't drive into the center, so i wasn't dropped off at the hotel.

heat control built-in lighting hard bed temperamental lift

I loved that the room had heat control. It helped a lot! built-in lighting at the vanity was awesome too. it was so useful for getting ready, i appreciated it a lot.

The bed was too hard, and it made it difficult to sleep! there are steps before reaching a temperamental lift. It was a little difficult with my luggage.
