excessively firm uncomfortable bed
The location is acceptable, as restaurants are just outside.
The bed was excessively firm, it affected my sleep. This is regrettable given the other facilities were satisfactory. I expect a more comfortable bed in a hotel of this standard.

Fantastic Stay with Great Amenities

excellent terrace comfortable bed free parking
The terrace provided an excellent spot for relaxation. The bed was comfortable. I slept soundly each night. I found free parking easily available, a great convenience. The Wi-Fi service was consistently strong and reliable throughout my stay.
I noticed the heating and hot water were switched off during the night. It was scheduled to be turned back on at 8 am. I experienced a wait for the water to heat up in the morning, a minor inconvenience.
