check-in was smooth and quick, and i received clear directions to the car park with a handy map. the bedroom was spacious and the bed super comfortable with clean, crisp bedding! the room was also quiet and had everything needed. i especially loved the rainfall shower, a great way to wake up.
i noticed only a small detail the lounge area is a bit small, a very minor thing though.

the staff were polite, but not particularly friendly. i think the hotel is pleasant, but nothing special. it seems the price was high for a standard room.
