Dirty but nice staff

Staff were very friendly and breakfast was great. Lots of choices, however the bathroom was dirty. I stayed for 2 nights , I noticed some dirt in the toilet hoping it will be cleaned the next but alas it was still there after cleaning. The shower floor tiles are also very dirty.

Can recommend

Extremely friendly employees and going the extra mile. Parking in front of the building during daytime and locked garage at night. Good food, clean and comfortable rooms with windows that can open. No replacement for fresh air.

Accommodations were as per expectation. Rooms are well-appointed and clean with all necessary amenities. The staff provided a good packed breakfast for my 5am departure. Internet/WiFi provision was erratic and problematic.

The property was good and clean. Felt safe but the street below can be busy and a bit crowded, but it doesn’t affect the experience in the hotel itself.

It’s a excellent cost-benefit place. Comfortable room, with nice bed and shower, amazing breakfast and extremely kind and well trained staff. The area where this hotel is located isn’t good and also the gym is terrible.

After a late arrival, the chef stayed on despite the kitchen being closed in order to prepare me a meal after my long drive, as did they waiver the ‘no room service’ option to cater for me. Very friendly and helpful staff all round. Secure parking. Highly recommend this property. Very convenient for those travelling by road as it’s on the main northern bound route.
