The triple room was spacious. It had plenty of storage space. Breakfast was good with plenty of choice. The ingredients had good quality.

Maintenance work occurred but I was not aware of this. I came back to the hotel for a lie. Hammering disturbed my first day. Drilling disturbed my second day.

basic room hallway noise

the location was central and convenient for exploring the area.

the room i was given felt quite basic, and i expected a bit more for the price i paid. also, the noise from the hallway was quite disruptive, as i could hear other guests coming and going at all hours. it made it hard to get a good night's sleep.
