some issues
loose lights blocked nozzles
the bed was comfortable.
the room felt a bit tired the lights near the bath seemed loose and there were some dirty marks around the sink. there was no air conditioning only fans were available so the room became very warm. i also had to clean the rain shower myself because many of the nozzles were blocked.

Decent Stay, Some Issues
limited parking few channels
I found some aspects lacking. The parking situation was not great. There seemed to be a limited number of small spaces, and it cost extra. The TV only had a few channels. I expected more from a hotel like this.

Central and Comfortable Stay
central location clean design attentive staff
I found the central location very convenient. The short walk to the town centre was a definite plus. The modern bathroom included a clean design. The housekeeping staff were attentive.
I experienced some issues with the television. There were only a limited number of channels available.. I found the gym equipment to be basic. It had only light weights.

paltry selection barely functioning
the shower had decent pressure, always a relief after a long journey. it met my basic needs, i suppose.
the television offered a paltry selection of channels. i discovered the lack of variety when i attempted to unwind after a tedious day. the remote barely functioned, causing constant frustration. i expected better from a hotel of this supposed caliber.
