i found complimentary parking near the hotel for my car, it's a HUGE bonus. The location is superb, it's a quick walk to shops and restaurants.. i loved that. The room was super clean with everything needed, especially after exploring all day.

the limited selection at breakfast was a very slight letdown, not many options.

the location is great, it is within walking distance of shops, the train station, and restaurants. its location offers quietness, because it is close to the center but still on the side. The central station is about a mile away.

The location was convenient. It allowed easy access to shops. the room itself was adequately sized. it had basic amenities like a hairdryer and extra cushions, i found it practical. i felt secure because i saw women working at the reception, this was reassuring.

The lack of housekeeping was a significant issue. i returned to my room after a day out, and it was uncleaned. i learned that housekeeping was only available upon request, though no one had informed me about this in advance. the breakfast selection was also limited. I expected more variety.
