The location was central though the parking was first come first served. the staff were helpful. They stored my bag before check-in. the room had good linens and towels. i even got a discounted first drink at the bar!
the room was a superior king, but the small window had a view of a wall! this made the room quite dark.

mixed experience with some drawbacks

limited drawernightclub noise
The room had limited drawer space. This. also, there was significant noise from a nightclub across the street late into the night. sleep was disrupted due to people shouting outside until well after 3am. This was quite disturbing and went on for some time.

Solid Choice for a Short Trip

The staff was helpful at all times. Breakfasts were hot. they offered quite a lot of variety. The room had what I needed. It was quiet and cozy. Parking close by was really convenient.
The room was far from reception and through numerous firedoors. I think this hotel could have done a bit better than the room I was given.
