The hotel has convenient access to buses into the city. The staff were always polite. I found myself in a maisonette-style room, it featured two separate bedrooms and a private patio. I was actually surprised.

friendly staffspersonal patioself serve optionsdated annex
the staffs help were heaven. they assisted with taxis and more. my room had two floors, with a personal patio. mornings there, felt just right. breakfast offered plentiful, self serve options, a proper start to my days.
the annex looked a bit tired. from outside, it seemed dated. internally, it was also a bit behind the times. still, it was mostly alright.
