Solid stay!

comfortable bed good wi-fi plenty towels

I found a comfortable bed. I appreciated the good Wi-Fi. The hotel supplied plenty of towels. I had everything I needed for my stay.

The sink lacked a plug. This detail made shaving a little inconvenient, though manageable.

Rooms

8/10

My room offered a kettle with tea, coffee, and milk. This was a nice touch. I also found a small flatscreen television provided entertainment. The bathroom included fresh towels and complimentary toiletries for my use.

Location

9/10

Bus stops are located immediately outside the building. This offers easy access to the city center. The hotel is situated a reasonable distance from the city center. This provides a quieter environment, away from the main bustle.

Dining

8/10

The hotel does not offer breakfast. There are several small eateries located nearby. These provide quick meal options, though the area might appear somewhat untidy to some guests.
