convenient location and spacious stay

prime location spacious apartment direct access

The location IS prime. I found i could walk to the city center in just minutes and a convenience store was nearby. The apartment was really spacious, ESPECIALLY the living area. I had direct access to the city centre and made everything walkable.

Sound awareness could be improved. I COULD hear people coming and going in the building at times.

Service

The receptionist was available for a short time. I found them to be very nice during interactions. i felt a more comprehensive orientation , especially regarding parking procedures, would be beneficial.

Rooms

My room came equipped with a full kitchen, and i liked having laundry facilities available . The room itself was very very comfy and tidy, with a generally tidy appearance upon arrival, a nice plus after a long journey.

Location

This hotel had excellent access to the city center. I enjoyed the short walk to various points of interest. There was a pathway over a bridge, and it was nice to have alternative access to the top street above the hotel.

Dining

I found many breakfast spots very close to the accommodation. I did not use the hotel's dining facilities, i was able to easily walk to nearby restaurants and cafes for all my meals .

Secure parking was available, i didn't have any trouble finding a space. The building had an elevator i used, it seemed mostly for housekeeping and transporting supplies, but worked well when i needed to access my room.

adequate location, notable flaws

tiny bathroom dirty balcony

the location was acceptable, a short walk to town.

The second bathroom was small. the balcony was also quite dirty. I observed black edges on the tiled floor and a layer of leaves covering everything. when i inquired about it, i was told cleaning it was not their responsibility.

central location onsite parking good shower

the apartment was very close to the town center and attractions. parking onsite meant we didn't need the car for two days. the bathroom was nice with plenty of storage and a good shower it had everything i needed after a long day.

the door lock felt simple so there was a lack of security. i could hear people coming and going outside and in the building. it was sometimes quite noisy, which wasn't ideal after a day of excursions.
