The location was very convenient. It was a short walk to local attractions and public transport. Free parking was a great perk, and I easily found a space. I also appreciated the room upgrade I received (I thought it was an awesome surprise!).

The bathroom fixtures showed some signs of age, like rust on the bin, which could definitely use an update.

the bathroom wasn't clean , and the saucers for tea cups were quite filthy. i mentioned the broken plug socket by the bed to a staff member , but they already knew and didn't seem concerned. after that , i tried calling reception several times during service hours , but no one ever answered. it was annoying to encounter such issues and not receive any support.
