The hotel is a short walk from the city centre near Parkers Piece. This location proved convenient for exploring with friends. Some friends parked outside the hotel. Breakfast offered sufficient options. The hotel's proximity to the city made walking easy and enjoyable.

The bathroom shower had a weak water flow, and it took a long time for hot water to come through. the bed felt hard.

Dining

smoke smell mediocre breakfast

the location was good enough. it was close to everything i needed and not too far from places i didn't, i suppose.

The room they gave me reeked of stale smoke, even though they claim its a smoke-free hotel. the noise level was terrible. I heard every door slam and conversation. breakfast was mediocre too, with barely nothing hot.
