enjoyable central stay

friendly staff comfortable bed
the check-in staff welcomed me warmly and upgraded my room. the bed was large and provided a very comfortable night's sleep. i found the hotel's location convenient, only a short walk to the city centre.
i noticed the hotel car park had limited spaces available, and parking incurred an additional charge. i found it a little inconvenient.

Decent stay, some issues though.

ice request limited window
The spa facilities were not shown, I had to ask for them. It was disappointing. requesting ice twice did not result in receiving it. The window in my room could only be opened a tiny crack. It really limited fresh air.
