convenient locationbroken sashoverhead lights
The location was convenient. It offered easy access to nearby attractions. the on-site parking was also a plus.
my room felt quite dated. the window sash was broken, it allowed a draft. overhead lights shone directly into the room at night, blackout curtains would have helped.

The location was convenient. I found myself within easy walking distance of the city center. The room included air conditioning, very useful, and a refrigerator. Fresh milk was supplied instead of those small tubs, a welcome detail. I particularly appreciated the service. All requests were handled promptly and efficiently.
I found that some areas could use a little updating.

The room had a good selection of teabags, mugs, and a kettle. Fresh milk and spring water were also in the minifridge.
Our room was disappointing. The bed clearly had not been changed after the previous guest and the toilet door was disgusting. I expected much more from a 4-star hotel.
