fantastic stay!

family roomincluded parkinglate noise
I found the staff accommodating and friendly. nothing was too much trouble for them! the family room was surprisingly big. Each of us had our own actual bed, a huge bonus. i found the location excellent with easy access to central parts of the city, and the included parking made everything so easy!!!
i encountered some noise from other guests upstairs late at night. it continued until the early hours, which wasn't ideal for sleep. it is not the hotel's fault though.

The room had a good size, that was acceptable.
The staff seemed a bit off. They were not very cute, and the check-in process felt impersonal. I also noticed a lingering smell of smoke in the hallway, a smoke smell, unpleasant odor.

The check-in process was unconventional. The room key was passed out of a ground floor window. The room had a musty odor. The carpet was outdated.

I found a fridge in the room. This kept drinks cold. Housekeeping cleaned the room daily. This was very convenient. Bus stops located right outside provided excellent transport access.
The kettle in the room seemed faulty. It took a long time to boil water. I think this could be checked more regularly.
