Adequate Stay with Issues

excessive street noise limited amenities

The room was quite noisy due to its central location. Street noise was excessive. I also found a lack of amenities. There were only a few cotton buds and coffee.

lovely stay close to everything

amazing location spacious room detailed communication keyless entry

the location was amazing, super central to all attractions. the room felt quite spacious and clean. i received very detailed communication from the team with local recommendations, i visited some of the recommended places. the clear keyless entry system added convenience..

the nearby car park, though convenient, tended to get full rather quickly.

The location was excellent. The staff was great and the room was super clean. I appreciated the central location and short walk to the lake. The host communicated well and ensured I was comfortable.
