Excellent Hotel Stay

friendly staff comfortable room central location
The staff was really friendly and cute. They were very helpful! The rooms have comfortable decor and are quite stylish. This hotel is situated well for the Tivoli theatre, shopping, and various restaurants.
The hotel does have strict check-in times. This isn't helpful when traveling long distances. I faced some delays because of traffic and missed the 10 pm check-in. I had to sleep in my car for the first night.

Central Hotel with Excellent Service

central location super cosy bed friendly staff
The location was central. The room was spacious, and the bed was super cosy. I found the breakfast to be perfect. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The rooms were very clean and had everything I needed.
My room overlooked the car park entrance. The floodlight attracted insects. Old windows had to be opened on a hot night, so this was a problem. I think the floodlight should be switched off when the car park is full or after 10 pm.
