reliable stay with ample parking

free parkingcity walksports viewunique 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.

the location offered convenient parking and easy access to the city center. the room was super clean and cozy (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 roommodern bathroomcomfortable bedsnoisy road
The room was super clean and cozy, 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.
