Solid Stay at Midlands

water jugfriendly staffdining optiontown center
The hotel offered jugs filled with water both in rooms and at hydration stations. I thought that's a nice touch. The staff showed very friendly attitude and gave quick service. The location proved convenient, with numerous dining options nearby. The hotel's proximity to the town center allowed easy exploration without the need for taxis, a saving on transportation costs.
The gym had limited opening hours so I couldn't fit a session in.
Rooms
9/10
The room includes a big double bed and also a sofa bed. I observed there were fresh towels daily, but the bathroom lacks a non-slip mat. A coffee maker and a kettle were in the room.

The room, a couples beautiful room, featured stylish lights. I also found slippers and dressing gowns were present. The bathroom looked new. I thought the jacuzzi was a nice feature. The swimming pool was also ENJOYABLE.
I had to reserve a table in the bar for lunch, and this rule seemed inconsistent because external guests did not follow it.

Good Central Hotel Stay

late swimming poolgood breakfastconvenient lunchrelaxing plunge pool
I found the breakfast and lunch to be very good. I also liked the swimming pool and it was open late. This suited my late arrival after the business meeting I had scheduled the next morning.
Rooms
8/10
The Single Room included a double and single bed and it was small with little daylight. I did find a small window, but it did not give a view of much, it sounded like the back of train tracks.

I found the staff to be cute, and this was kept up throughout my stay. The general tone was friendly from checking-in all the way to the end at checking out of the hotel.
