Really good Stay

The hotel provided dedicated parking spaces for each room which was very convenient. I found the garden area quite charming, offering comfortable seating . A key fob system allowed easy access, (which i appreciated), giving me the freedom to come and go as i pleased. I especially enjoyed the well kept hotel, decorated tastefully throughout.
The breakfast was available only for an additional fee, unexpected.

The bed was comfortable enough. I appreciated the en suite bathroom, it had good water pressure and plentiful hot water. I found tea and coffee making facilities in the room. I was lucky to secure on-site parking right next to the entrance, very convenient.

Just Okay Stay
poor isolationextra charge
The noise isolation in the room was poor. I could hear people walking and talking in the hallway. It made it difficult to relax. The hotel charged extra for parking, and I felt this should have been included in the room price. This added unexpected cost to my stay.
