cozy stay with excellent service

helpful staff included breakfast
the staff offered very useful tips and were accommodating. i also appreciated that the breakfast was included and was great. the bus stop location, being right in front , was convenient. the living area created a cozy atmosphere.
the lack of shelves or a table in the room was inconvenient. i found it difficult to organize my things and dry towels properly. the towel rack placement behind the towels worsened this situation.

mixed feelings about this stay

laundry scam missing amenities
the staff were helpful with directions. (i thought they did a decent job).
the laundry service reminded me of a scam. i was charged twice the stated price for a small bag, because they said two loads were necessary. the room also lacked basic amenities, like shelves or a table. i found it hard to organize my things.

rustic charm shines through

unique decor blackout blinds cozy lounge
i really appreciated the unique decor that reflected the area's mining history, there were interesting photos and mementos throughout the hotel, it felt authentic. my room was basic but clean, it had effective blackout blinds, which i found useful. unlimited tea and coffee were available in the cozy lounge areawith a wood burner and comfortable sofas.
the lights in the long corridor came on only when i walked down it, this felt a bit disconcerting.

a guest kitchen offered all necessary appliances for free usage. the lounge area featured board games and a wood burner. a 'shoes off' policy maintained cleanliness throughout the indoor areas.

Breakfast had a good variety of options, like waffles, eggs, fruit, and bread, setting me up well for the day. i especially enjoyed the charming restaurant space, it was full of plants. the restaurant served vegetarian lasagna. It was the best i have ever had.

the lounge area has a pleasant atmosphere and complimentary tea. i noticed the breakfast buffet was extensive and satisfying. the staff addressed my concerns about the room temperature promptly, I must say.
My single room was quite small. Closet space was very limited. the shared bathroom, needed more hooks. the corridor lighting only activating upon movement was somewhat unsettling.
