the hotel is a bit away from the city centre. however, a bus stop is located right outside the hotel. it only takes about 20 minutes to get to the center by bus, and they run every 30 minutes.

a restful haven

kind staffsteak sandwichunclear signage
I found the staff kind. Their service really made a difference. the steak sandwich was delicious, a true highlight! i enjoyed late swims because the leisure centre has extended hours.
i noticed the signage from the underground parking was not clear. carrying luggage, i ended up in the gym. it needed a door fob to reach hotel reception. better directions would be welcome.
