Really good stay with great service

comfortable bedwide selectionfriendly staffsmall room
The room was very clean (I always check!), and the beds were comfortable. Breakfast had a wide selection, which I appreciated. The location is great. It is easy to walk into the city. Staff members were super friendly and helpful with directions.
I found that the room was a bit small, and there was no space to move about freely with luggage.

Excellent Room Facilities

spa bathhuge bedcoffee facilitylarge tv
The upgraded room featured a spa bath and a huge bed. Tea, coffee, and hot chocolate facilities were available in the room. A microwave was also provided, and there were tub chairs plus a large TV. I was delighted by the personal touch of a chocolate on the pillow upon my arrival.
I found that the lounge area was blocked off, which limited options.

wonderful stay!

I found the location quite convenient. A brisk 15-minute walk took me right into the town center. i stayed in a newly refurbished room, and i really liked the comfy beds. the warm temperature of the room was also very welcome after a day out.
the hotel bar wasn't open. this was disappointing, and it meant i spent very little time in the main hotel building.
