Decent stay

convenient locationcomfortable bedthoughtful additionssmall showerslow refillincomplete flush
The location was convenient for transportation. A bus stop was right outside (i found it very handy). My room had thoughtful extras added. The bed was comfortable, so i had a peaceful sleep.
The shower cubicle was quite small. Each time i raised my elbows, i bumped the walls. The toilet didn't always flush completely. it took a long time to refill (a bit annoying).

breakfast roomhotel qualitylong walkwarm room
i was happy to find the breakfast service sufficient to start my day. the breakfast room was wonderful, and it had good options (i especially liked the pastries). my room was kept clean, which i liked, and the overall quality of the hotel is very good. it was well-kept which i appreciated very much.
the location is fine, but it's a bit of a walk to some attractions. the bathroom was tight, and there was no way to cool off the room, warm for me. it is not a restaurant.
