Central Location with Modern Comforts

helpful staffmodern decormissing kettle
The staff were very helpful. They quickly addressed a minor issue i had. I appreciated the hotel's modern decor and overall cleanliness. The location was also very convenient, allowing me easy access to nearby attractions. I found the breakfast selection to be quite varied, catering to different dietary needs.
The room lacked some expected amenities. There was no kettle for making tea. This was a minor inconvenience but noticeable for a hotel in this price range. I missed having this facility in my room.
