the breakfast attendant served nice espressos. the room was clean. the hotel had a attached bar and restaurant. i saw that the hotel location was great. staff are accommodating. it seemed like the hotel offered good value for the money.

the shower temperate control was either slightly too hot or far too hot, with no way to set it to a cooler temperature. i couldn't set it to a cooler temperature and i needed to wash my face in cool water. the coffee machine didn't work.

amazing experience!

clean hotel convenient parking awesome bar

The hotel was super clean and i found it quite comfortable! there was convenient on road parking right across from the hotel. I parked there with no issues. there are loads of food spots nearby and it's just a quick drive into the city center! the downstairs bar was awesome. there's a nice terrace outside.

the shower in my room was a total letdown since it had zero pressure, then would get freezing cold. i honestly had a tough time even using it. the water basically dribbled on me!
