My stay at the hotel was a bit of a mixed bag. The room was a bit basic, with some dented furniture, but the bed was lovely. The TV was far away, making it hard to watch, and there wasn't much in the room. On the bright side, the staff were all helpful and friendly, making the stay enjoyable. The location was convenient with easy access from the motorway, but being next to a nightclub could be noisy. The dining experience was average, with nothing special, but the facilities provided were satisfactory.

The hotel was warm from the bathroom with some mold, and the windowsill in the bedroom had mold too, but it had everything we needed, though it was noisy over the bar until midnight. The service was very friendly with a great location, but there were some instances of unprofessional behavior. The location was on the edge of town with ample underground parking but not much for kids to do. The dining experience was really nice with amazing staff, but there were better-priced hotels with cold breakfast.

The hotel's rooms were clean and cozy, but the price was quite high for what was offered. The staff provided good service, especially during a wedding event. The location was convenient, close to the motorway with good facilities nearby. The dining experience had some shortcomings with subpar breakfast options. Overall, a mixed experience with some positives and negatives.

Rooms

The room, although labeled as a 'Suite', was basically just a slightly larger room. It overlooked the noisy smoking area and came with a cheap bottle of white wine.
