    Modern room features, strong Wi-Fi connectivity, proximity to major attractions

    Limited parking options that require pre-arrangement can be frustrating!!! Some rooms showed noticeable wear and tear that didn't meet expectations!!!

    Recommend it for families traveling

    We spent four days at the hotel and the breakfast was decent, staff were super friendly. The room was clean and comfy enough, especially considering I had my family with me.

    It wasn’t exactly a bargain, but considering the location, it was still acceptable.

    Great location, comfy beds!

    We spent 3 nights here and loved the location! Just a short walk to the train station and tons of places to eat. The beds were super comfy but breakfast was a bit of a letdown with overcooked bacon. it would be nice to have a fridge in the room. The bar in the lounge was a cozy spot to unwind.

    Consider arriving early for breakfast to avoid the rush. the busy dining area can make it hard to find a table.

    great location

    Perfect for a family getaway

    The location is unbeatable with easy access to bars and restaurants just a short walk away and the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive with one in particular Andrea who made us feel right at home.

    It wasn’t exactly cheap but it was still acceptable given the circumstances.
