"We'd come to our hotel room full of balloons & 2 big slices of chocolate brownies still warm with chocolate sauce spelt happy birthday at no extra cost."
"The large mirror in the bedroom and the antifog mirror in the bathroom were a significant advantage!"

nice bathroomhelpful staffspacious roomshort lead
The hotel has a very nice bathroom with complimentary toiletries. The location provides easy access to nearby parking. I found the staff to be very helpful and friendly . My room was spacious and tidy.
The short lead on the hairdryer made it somewhat difficult to use. I found it a bit inconvenient to manage.

The staff was present and happy to help.
The room was too cold. The hotel lobby area also felt unacceptably cold, with no comfortable area to sit outside the small room.

The room had all the necessary amenities for my short stay. The location is great, really close to the city center. I found the staff to be very friendly and helpful! The breakfast offered a good variety of choices.
The room I got had an adjoining door and I happened to be next to a family with a noisy child. I also noticed the bed felt small because it was a standard double. No reading light was provided in the room, only a bright light above the bed.
