Decent Stay, Minor Issues

helpful staffconvenient coffee machinedisruptive noiselimited light

The hotel's location provided easy access to nearby attractions. The staff were helpful with directions. The room had a coffee machine. This was a convenient addition. I appreciated being able to leave my luggage after checking out.

The pumping noise occurred every ten minutes. This made sleeping difficult. I could hear other guests through the walls! the noise disrupted my rest. The room was dark, natural light was limited.

I appreciated the coffee machine in the room. It made mornings easy. there were plenty of outlets for charging devices, very useful. the provided toiletries were a nice touch and saved me from unpacking mine. i was also grateful that the room included a good hairdryer.

the window in my room faced an untidy patio, a slightly unpleasant view.
