convenient locationdaily teacoffeeinternal liftreasonable bar prices
I found the location convenient, especially the nearby bus stop. my room had replenished tea and coffee daily. That was helpful, i thought. the lift access inside was a bonus, it didn't go to all floors, but it helped. also, i used the bar, and prices seemed pretty reasonable.
the hotel felt a bit dated, i noticed. it could probably use some updates, i thought.
