The parking area was easy to navigate and free for hotel guests. I found the staff particularly friendly and helpful . The included breakfast offered a decent selection of English breakfast items.
The room fan did little to combat the heat, and adjusting the shower temperature was difficult, as I found only scalding hot water available.

The breakfast area offered a decent selection, the options were satisfactory. I noticed a limited variety of fresh fruit and pastries for those wanting lighter options. This area provided basic necessities.
Location

This hotel is situated near the football stadium, a proximity I found convenient. The area provides easy access, yet lacks many dining options within immediate walking distance so it would be ideal for match days.
