Wonderful Stay

spacious room friendly service

I found a spacious room. It included everything I needed for a comfortable stay. I appreciated the team's friendly service. It felt personable. WiFi worked well so I could work from the room. There was also a convenient plug point next to the bed.

The hotel lacked a lively atmosphere, which I found a little disappointing. It reminded me of a soulless building. There were no staff on duty overnight. The location wasn't ideal either. It was noisy one night with constant slamming of doors.
