“For travelers seeking a budget-friendly base after enjoying the illuminations, this could be a practical choice. While the immediate surroundings show some wear, inside, the rooms are equipped with what you need for a short stay. From what I gathered, the owner is attentive and accommodating to requests.”

The room was basic, yet so clean. It had all we needed. The beds were super clean and sooooo comfortable. Value for money was amazing (i was actually surprised!).

Our room sat atop the hotel and was very warm. There was no air and no way to relieve the heat. No fans were available. Staff did not seem bothered by this situation.

Excellent Stay Experience

new mattressappealing exteriorfree parkingfriendly staff

The mattress in my room seemed new I found this particularly pleasing upon entering. The hotel's exterior looked quite appealing among neighboring buildings. Parking was available directly outside the hotel at no extra cost which was very convenient. Staff were both friendly and helpful during check in providing a smooth arrival process.

My room's location on the hotel's top floor contributed to it being overly warm I found this a slight issue as no fan was available in the room.

The hotel did not have extensive dining facilities I noted its provision of coffee, tea, and biscuits in the room. This arrangement allowed for simple refreshment options without needing to leave the room. I found this adequate for basic needs .
