Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I was looking for basic, clean overnight accommodation for myself only, near a venue I was to attend. Not a huge room, but ideal for my needs with a single bed and a private bathroom and toilet. Extremely helpful and courteous staff on hand 24/7. Handy to have a cafe open from 7am on the ground floor, unsure if this is actually part of the hotel or a private business. But perfect location. Will definitely look at this hotel again if I need accommodation in that area. Thank you !
