a satisfactory stay
convenient location helpful staff visible stain chipped hallway
the location was quite convenient, being very close to the train station. the staff were helpful and provided great recommendations for local spots to visit and how to get there. they were also very transparent about their policies.
there were some visible stain marks in the hallways, i also noticed chippings and marks throughout. the room door did not shut properly. i really had to put my weight into it.

Solid Stay, Great Location!
public transport clean room friendly staff easy parking
I found the hotel near shops, restaurants, and public transport. My room was quite clean. I especially liked that the staff were friendly. The hotel had easy parking, a definite plus for me . The location provided quiet relaxation with outside seating in the back area.
The shower head in my room was loose... It was a slight inconvenience.

convenient location helpful staff spacious layout dated hotel unpleasant odor unclean floor
The location is quite convenient. It is within a sensible walking distance of the city center. The staff members were consistently kind and helpful. My room offered a spacious layout.
The hotel seems quite dated. It needs some improvements. The bathroom had an unpleasant odor. It smelt of feet. the floor did not appear to be thoroughly vacuumed.
