The private, gated parking provided a secure and convenient space for my vehicle. the location was superb. The tram stop was just a short walk. the staff was very friendly. the lounge's bar facilities were also quite a nice touch, especially after a long day.

the payment system was a little confusing at first, requiring nightly payments for breakfast, a bit inconvenient. simplifying this process could .

thin walls cramped room

The room was small. i could hear everything through the walls, even conversations. also, the shower had low pressure. the advertised family room felt cramped with a bunk bed pushed against the wall and hardly any space for a cot. I even consider it a fire safety hazard, very frustrating.

I stayed in a very clean, comfortable double room. All facilities met my needs perfectly. The room had a great size, I found it great value for money. I would certainly stay there again.

The shower was a refreshing freezing cold, it was disappointing.
