some issues need addressing

poor breakfastnoisy refrigerator
The cleanliness was not up to standard. i noticed toothpaste marks on the tiles and also some dust. the provided breakfast was also disappointing. Some items were clearly past their expiration date, it not make sense to provide food if the quality is so poor. the refrigerator was too noisy throughout the night to.

the breakfast selection was generous but the quality seemed questionable (some items looked past their prime). i'd prefer a smaller selection of fresher items. the refrigerator was also quite noisy, disturbing sleep.

a WONDERFUL stay

secure parkingspacious flatthoughtful freebiesroad noise
I found the secure parking VERY convenient. The spacious flat reminded me of home. The bed was comfortable, and the location suited my needs WELL. I appreciated the thoughtful freebies including beer, wine, breakfast, and snack options.
I noticed some noise as the hotel is close to the road. The road noise was noticeable, particularly at night. I suggest earplugs for light sleepers.
