The reception staff was very considerate and welcoming. Promptly made the registration checkin. Room clean and everything in good working order. At first a light stuffy odour (like when a room is left unoccupied for a while) but then quickly dissipated by leaving the door open for 10 mins. Located at walking distance to good restaurants for dinner and breakfast. Would definitely return here again when in the neighborhood. Value for money

The room was adequate for the price, but there was something making noise, maybe the ventilation system? It was like a truck was idling in the room all night, and maybe it was the frequency, but earplugs didn’t help. Very annoying. It was all a bit bleak
