clean room generous breakfast convenient bus stop distant car park unclear direction rude staff

The room was clean. i found the breakfast continental and generous. the hotel's proximity to a bus stop made getting to the city center easy. It was just a 15-minute ride.

i didn't like that the car park was far from the hotel. i also noticed there were no clear directions to it. the night staff seemed rude and unwelcoming during check-in.

An Okay Stay

friendly staff free tickets no microwave limited channels

The staff was friendly and informative. A bus stop right outside the hotel provided easy access to the city center. The hotel even gave free tickets (that was a nice bonus!).

I found no microwave in the room and also no refrigerator. Hot water for the shower was not available, and the TV did not have many English channels, apart from news.
