Excellent City Stay!

The room featured a modern, uncluttered layout that i found appealing. The shower worked perfectly, providing an invigorating start to each day. I appreciated the good basic facilities, which suited my needs perfectly for a short visit.
I found the additional parking costs added unexpected expense to my stay. This aspect reduced the overall value, especially considering the available facilities.

The breakfast setup was underwhelming , with a really limited selection of food items. Finding a clean table was a challenge most mornings , and staff seemed slow to clear used dishes. Also , my room lacked a mini-fridge , which would have been useful for storing drinks and snacks.
