spacious double room good water pressure fantastic location limited menu noisy bed frame small room
The double room was spacious. The bathroom had a bathtub and good water pressure. Breakfast was good, with great food and service. The location was close to the city centre.
The restaurant menu had a limited choice. The bed frame made noise anytime I moved. It woke me up. The rooms were smaller than the pictures showed.

The location provided easy access to nearby attractions. Parking on site was included (a real benefit).
The room felt very warm. A fan was provided, but it did not adequately cool the space. Breakfast service in the bar area was slow on certain mornings. Staff seemed overwhelmed.
