The stay was fine. Inconveniences were minor but location was decent.
Pros:

Staff were helpful and gave free breakfast upgrade when my door scanner kept malfunctioning.

Cons:

Bathroom is incredibly small. Impossible to not get bath mat soaking wet if you put it down. Water pressure was very average. The address was also somewhat misleading because parking and main entrance was one street back from the main street, so it took a bit more navigating to find properly.

Was ok
Pros:

The room was nice, the bed was quite comfy. The food was good at breakfast. The staff were helpful. Location good, close to bus stop abd some eateries.

Cons:

The room was too light due to the gap above curtains and large gap under the door. We had to go to reception about noise a very large number of school children were wandering about going from room to room and talking loudly in the hallways later on at night, the teacher didnt seem to take notice and told us to complain to reception, thpugh it did quieten down then. Next morning the same group of children were waiting around reception which is fine but then started occupying tables and congregating in the cafe when people were coming to find a table for breakfast and it got quite noisy and under your feet trying to get back to your table with hot drinjs & food, nobody seemed to take control so it did let it down a bit the cafe area is only quite small.
