good location clean room excellent communication dust layer cracked sink tiny bathroom
the location was good it was a short walk to food and bars. the room was comfy and clean i appreciated that. communication was excellent with the staff i had to change my travel plans and they helped me change dates and get a refund.
i found unknown black pellets in the bedsheets i had to keep the window open for fresh air. the sink basin was cracked and the bathroom was very tiny it was hard to be at the sink with the door closed.

Solid stay close to attractions
spacious room quiet room close bus stops
I found my room spacious and quiet. The building itself looked beautiful. Bus stops were very close. The bathroom was nicely appointed and i liked the walk in shower.
I found no lift in the building. This posed a slight difficulty due to my mobility issues. I did not see breakfast served, although several options exist locally.
