Really good City Stay!

central locationexcellent customer caresuperb mattress
The location provided super access to the train station and shopping areas. The customer care shown by the staff was really good, I noted this from check-in right through to departure. The mattress was superb and ensured a quiet night's sleep. I slept like a log!
The room was very basic and lacked warmth. The pebbledash painted walls did not appeal to me.
Dining

The breakfast included croissants. pain au chocolat, and these baked goods tasted delicious. The decoration was very well done. I would've given it a go. I already booked other places!
