lovely restaurantbusy streetlimited window
The restaurant was lovely I thought. The food tasted good.
My room, a Single Room, got very stuffy because there wasn't air conditioning. The window only opened a crack, and it faced a REALLY busy street. I could not sleep WELL.

The hotel has convenient car parking, and it's only a short drive to the city center. the location is a quiet part of town, away from the center's bustle. A definite plus if you enjoy relaxing surroundings.

The provided parking was spacious. This made arrival easy. I also found several food options nearby. These gave good variety for meals.
The hotel was dusty due to ongoing redecoration. This made walking through the lobby unpleasant. I also could not order breakfast.
