Convenient Stay near Transport

The hotel is near transport stops. I found them within a five-minute walk. The staff was helpful. I liked that the kitchen facilities were available at any time.
The cleaning standards could be improved. Some areas needed more attention.

The room had proper heating. It maintained a comfortable temperature. It was a typical room. A back room meant it was quiet. The provided coffee and tea were useful.
