terrible pressure uncomfortable bed

The shower had terrible water pressure. It barely trickled out! The room felt quite stuffy. Even with the window open, there wasn't much airflow. The bed was also quite uncomfortable with springs poking through. I ended up with a restless night.

convenient stay Near everything

clean room en-suite bathroom handy car park provided fan

The room was very clean. The en-suite bathroom had all necessary amenities. The indian restaurant next door served excellent food! the car park opposite was convenient. I was thankful for the fan provided in the room during a hot stay.

The front door was ajar sometimes, it made me feel insecure, and the road noise bothered me a little.

Rooms

The room featured comfortable carpeting and a private bathroom. The room included a wardrobe for storage and also several utensils for meals, a useful addition. The room was spacious too.

The hotel has a car park located opposite the building. The access to the hotel was easy, and communication about check-in worked well. A quick call sorted out the original room code.
