Top The Giant Chessboard Hotel Reviews

The Q Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Love the contactless operation of the room. Also, the privacy/silence was appreciated. Meaning the walls were well insulated for sound. Having a split unit in the room like that was brilliant as it operated quiet as well. Going and coming was a breeze. I never had to find my key cause all you had to do is remember your code for your room and the front or back door. Nice job!"
