The hotel was a short drive to the concert venue. My King Size Superior room was spacious and stylish. The decor included local landmark prints that added a unique touch. I found convenient features like ample sockets, an ironing board, lighted mirrors, and a fridge.
The coffee machine required a queue during breakfast, a bit inconvenient.

My room was spacious and featured stylish decor with prints showing local landmarks. An abundance of sockets, lighted mirrors, and even a fridge were great additions. The smart TV kept my teenage son entertained! I found the staff friendly. They gave prompt service.
The room door had to be pulled tight when leaving, as it did not fully close by itself, unlike most hotels.

the room had a smart tv (always useful with kids). the bathroom was lovely and the shower divine. the staff gave my daughter a selection box when checking out, a kind gesture indeed.
the carpet in the bedroom felt almost sticky to walk on. it looked like it had been hoovered but it was very dirty. i think they really need to replace or properly clean the carpets.
