decent stay NEAR arena

convenient locationfree teaclean roomrobotic staffearly bar closureinconvenient toilet roll holder
The location proved very convenient for visiting the arena. it was literally just around the corner. the room was clean. It had enough space for my needs. free tea and coffee in reception was a PLUS.
Check-in felt robotic. The staff member seemed uninterested. the bar closed before 11pm on a thursday. I found this inconvenient. the toilet roll holder in the en suite dug into my leg when i sat on the toilet!

the room was clean. the discounted parking was very convenient (right next to the hotel).
the restaurant seemed to focus more on serving food than drinks to hotel guests.

decent breakfastslow check-inuninterested staff
the breakfast was quite good, a decent start to the day.
Check-in was slow and i found the customer service lacking. I expected a more proactive approach to resolving my queries regarding local amenities. the staff seemed uninterested in providing helpful information, and i felt my questions were brushed aside.
