Solid stay with keyless entry!

keyless entry systemcommunal dining areasecurity codesmall room
I appreciate the keyless entry system. It uses codes sent via text and email. I really liked that the system allowed access to both the main door and the room itself (security is important). There was free tea and coffee available in the communal dining area, this was a NICE touch.
The room i stayed in was quite small. I found other rooms, priced the same, to be larger.
Rooms

The room featured a new bed, new carpets, and a smart TV. Clean fresh bedding, coupled with a comfortable bed, ensured i had a good night's rest after a long day. The room was not large, but adequate.

the location was convenient, a short walk to attractions. the free tea and coffee in the common room was a nice touch. the shower was a good size. this hotel provided netflix on the tv.
The walls seemed thin. I could hear noises from other rooms. the room became quite warm, even with the window open. there was no kettle in the room, a bit inconvenient for making tea in the morning.
