mushy cauliflowervegan options
The restaurant visit was disappointing. I ordered the cauliflower and curry burger because vegan options existed. The cauliflower was deep-fried and mushy. I couldn't taste any curry. The burger was dry, and vegan mayo and irish coffee weren't available. Staff served bread with butter halfway through the meal, showing no consideration for my vegan preference.

The food I had in the restaurant tasted great. The staff were very friendly and helpful throughout my stay. I especially appreciate the attentiveness and quick service in the dining area. The hotel's central location meant getting around was easy.
The room looked a bit dated and could use some refreshing. The bathroom felt small, it lacked counter space. I noticed some noise from the street, slightly difficult to sleep.

The room was stuffy and it stank. Breakfast was unpleasant , with old dried out fruit. The food was generally substandard.

it had so much room and a very comfortable king size bed. free parking in the garage was very convenient.
i asked for an americano at breakfast and was told i would have to pay extra. the only coffee included was the "breakfast coffee", it tasted awful. the food was overpriced and not great, i had fish and chips. i stayed for a concert and this experience was not worth the cost.
