Really good Stay, A Truly Nice Experience!

warm greetingample parkingnice selectionspacious layout

The check-in process was seamless, and the staff greeted me with genuine warmth. I found ample parking space at the rear of the premises. This was a pleasant surprise. Breakfast had a very nice selection of hot items, including perfectly cooked sausages and scrambled eggs. The room had a spacious layout. It included a comfortable bed and a modern television.

I noticed the shower drain was slightly slow. I had to wait a moment for the water to clear.

The room was clean, it felt refreshing. Breakfast was tasty, especially the variety offered. The staff members were cute. The bar area provided useful drinks and snacks. I enjoyed spending time there after a long day.

I found the room lacked sufficient drawer space. There was limited storage for clothing and personal items. More drawers could be beneficial for longer stays.

The staff was very helpful. The location was convenient to get to the city center. I thought the breakfast was amazing.

The room looked acceptable upon arrival. Closer inspection revealed the bathroom sink looked like one from a train. The beds were not clean, with hairs and stains on the linens and pillows. I noticed the desk was dusty.
