great location walking distance efficient staff complete refurbishment missing amenities unappealing entrance
The location was really great, many things were within walking distance. The hotel offered a nice restaurant on site. I also found the staff helpful and efficient.
I found the hotel was in need of a complete refurbishment. There were no amenities like a garden or spa. I feel the entrance could use some interesting painting to make it a little more appealing.
