central locationquiet roomwater policy
the complimentary breakfast was a definite plus. its central location allowed easy access to nearby restaurants and bars. the room was comfortable and quiet. the restful sleep was appreciated after exploring.
during my stay, i noticed the absence of refreshed water bottles after the initial supply. i found this policy a bit odd and inexpensive. it would add value to provide replenished water.

i found the location convenient. the car park was conveniently adjoining the hotel. we asked the receptionist if we could leave our bags until check in, and to our delight, we were offered our room there and then. the room was clean and modern.
The executive rooms are disappointingly small. I would not upgrade again.
