convenient location, charmed by the surroundings

great locationmany treeseasy accessmissing air conditioning

The location was excellent. i was able to easily find all the places i wanted to visit. This made my holiday so much better! the hotel faces a park with many trees and benches. temperatures reached 37 degrees, so i watched children playing under the water display. It was very restful. crossing the road to the park was easy. Traffic stopped for people.

the air conditioning was not on when i stayed in mid-may. there was no beer on tap in the bar for two nights. i prefer the option of air con and an after-dinner drink.
