reliable stay with ample parking

free parking city walk sports view unique touch
i found the hotel to be quite convenient for my needs. i appreciated the provision of complimentary off road parking for 24 hours. the short walk into the city was a definite plus. also , the sports view outside my window added a unique touch.
i noted the water was only lukewarm during one evening , possibly because of heavy usage by other guests.
Rooms

the double room i occupied featured a functional shower, which delivered easily adjustable water temperatures , something i value. the beds were comfortable , with clean linens , and the provided fan helped to regulate the room temperature.

clean room, convenient parking

convenient parking clean room plentiful hangers
the location offered convenient parking and easy access to the city center. the room was very comfy and tidy (a definite plus after a long day). i appreciated the plentiful hangers provided, especially in the bathroom. it made organizing my clothes much easier.
i found the water lukewarm during the night, not ideal for showering. it seemed heavy usage by other guests might have caused the issue. i wish the water was hotter.
Dining

Excellent Stay with Convenient Location

clean room modern bathroom comfortable beds
The room was very comfy and tidy, contributing to a restful night. I found the bathroom modern, and it provided hot water with good pressure. The tea tray was well stocked daily (biscuits included). The beds also proved very comfortable for sleeping.
I noticed the room was quite hot, so I tried opening the windows. The noise from the passing buses and pedestrians made it difficult to keep the windows open overnight.

The double room offered a spacious environment. It featured a modern bathroom with efficient water pressure, and the provided amenities such as the tea tray were well-kept and replenished daily .
