It is a very convenient location, but the hotel room itself was dated. No furniture or decor to make the room more comfortable, such as a TV that allows chromecast or streaming, place to sit and put shoes on/off, or even a small sofa or couch to sit on. There are empty spaces around the room that could use decor/furniture to make it more comfortable. The rug is the worst part of the hotel room. It is dirty and looks like it hasn’t been replaced since the 1970s. The beds were comfortable and the sheets were soft, so ultimately not a bad hotel. Service was exceptional, breakfast buffet was great and consistent.

On first impressions, the reception looked lovely and the staff were great but it was let down by the small minimal bedroom, basic bathroom and drafty velux windows which made the bedroom cold. The bed sheet was from the 80s (Terry towelling) which was uncomfortable. On the plus side, the pillows were lovely. Was disappointed and not worth the money 😞

The staff was very kind and allowed us to check in early for a fee. Instead of paying for their parking we parked down the street in a garage and on the street which ended up being very very cheap. The room was big and I would stay again.

Super noisy during the night and morning. It was hard to get good sleep. Would not be staying here again. The rooms had no microwaves and no access to a public one. The kettle for tea and coffee was dirty. There are definitely better option than this.
