Really good Service and Convenient Location

convenient location friendly staff parking space

The location proved convenient for accessing the city center and various restaurants. I found the staff to be helpful and friendly. I appreciated the parking space.

I noticed there was no food available, and no wake up call service, a bit disappointing. The place essentially shuts down at 22:00 hours which limits some flexibility. I found this inconvenient.

The refurbished condition of the hotel was excellent. The staff were very friendly and helpful to me. The hotel had free parking next to the building. This was a great bonus. The location was also convenient. I walked to Castle Park in just five minutes.
