Acceptable Stay, Minor Issues

slow shower drain poor tv signal

The shower drain was slow. I was worried the shower would flood. The TV signal was poor with constant pixelation and volume fluctuations. On-site parking is unavailable which is really inconvenient. I had to deal with that nonsense.

central location friendly staff spacious room limited breakfast no parking three-star experience

The location is central I found this very convenient. Staff were friendly. The room was spacious enough.

The breakfast lacked options I found this disappointing. The hotel provides no parking so I used a nearby multi-storey car park. This hotel felt more like a three-star hotel.

Acceptable, but some issues.

heavy comforter noisy area

The location is convenient. It is very close to the city center.

The comforter in the room felt too heavy. A lighter option was unavailable, and that was frustrating. my room faced a noisy back service area , made mornings less peaceful. The noise began quite early.
