Cosy and well-kept stay

clean room helpful communication

The room felt clean and tidy. Jennifer was very cute upon my arrival. I found the pre-arrival communication from the team helpful (it eased my mind). The hotel had a secure front door.

The traffic noise bothered me a bit since my room faced the front of the building. I am a light sleeper. Blackout curtains would be good to block light better during summer nights.

I stayed in a double or twin room. it was bright with lovely windows. the couch was comfortable. I really enjoyed it. some crisps and biscuits. tea and coffee, were provided. That was awesome!!!

the double room was tiny. it was passable for me but would be way too cramped if there were two of you. there was hardly any power in the shower, so i basically had a drip shower in the morning!!!
