Decent Location but Some Disappointments

cold baconuncomfortable beds

The breakfast was quite disappointing. There were too many people trying to serve themselves in a small side room. It felt very cramped and awkward. I also found the bacon cold, and the 'cloudy apple hydration drink' wasn't good. The beds in the Standard Twin Room Hot were very uncomfortable.

Excellent Hotel Experience

I appreciated the friendly staff. They gave professional service. The breakfast staff consistently topped up the stations. I also noted that they cleared tables very quickly. I would certainly stay here again.

The fire alarm activated at 3:30 AM and caused a brief evacuation, which disrupted sleep.

The breakfast had a good variety. there was a nice selection of cereals, yogurts, and fruits. also a tea and coffee machine was available. i found the staff to be efficient . They ensured a clean environment.

the television signal was inconsistent, and it frequently broke up. the room provided a limited amount of tea, coffee, and milk. the headboard made a loud creaking noise, and it woke me up at night. i could hear other guests through the walls.
