the first floor room was spacious with a large tv. i also noticed a pull out sofa. the location provides a short walk into town for shopping. dining is close by as well.
the curtains did not block the light, so the room was too bright early.

walking distancedefective remoteinconvenient shower
the hotel was within walking distance to the town. the staff were friendly and cute.
The tv remote did not work, frustrating when i wanted to relax in the evening. the shower took a long time to get even semi-hot. I waited several minutes for it to warm up (this was quite inconvenient). the shower gel dispenser was mounted too high.

Solid Choice Near City Center

free parkingspacious layoutpower showerunmotivated receptionist
The location was a short walk to the city center. The free parking was very convenient. My room had a nice, spacious layout with good facilities and a lovely bathroom! The shower offered good power, so my showers were quite refreshing.
The receptionist did not appear motivated and seemed to prefer vaping outside. Continental breakfast was an extra ten pounds.

The room was quite spacious, very clean, and provided good facilities, I enjoyed my stay. I could also open the windows for fresh air which was very important for a deeper relaxation, though the street could be noisy sometimes.

The location was convenient with off-road parking and close proximity to the city centre, It was easy to find the location. The hotel is situated in a quiet area, but still near enough to walk to restaurants and shops.

Arrangements for key collection were in place via a key safe for a late check-in. That worked very well. Continental breakfast was included in the room rate, good, I enjoyed it. The free private parking was useful.
