A Decent Place to Stay

great selectionfriendly staffunreliable wifitelevision channel
The location is indeed central. Breakfast presented a huge selection, and everything tasted fresh. The staff resolved minor issues with the room immediately.
The WiFi was not reliable. It often disconnected, and connecting proved difficult. This is not what one expects. there was no ironing equipment in the room. Many television channels were unavailable.
