"The room on the top floor was nice and roomy with a very good fridge and smart TV. The bathroom was quite small but it was clean and modern and the shower was power. The only complaint I have is that the bed was quite old and not the most comfortable. The receptionist was great and we enjoyed some banter with her when we checked in. Friendly staff with a sense of humor are always appreciated."
