A nice stay.

The room was super clean. The bed was comfortable and for breakfast they had mandarines, a waffle machine and hard boiled eggs which is always good! They also had a washer and dryer which was super convenient.

The room was fine with only two issues. The door was hard to open as it was binding, and the hairdryer would not work. Not to mention, we had a problem with noisy neighbours that were yelling and swearing at 2:30 in the morning.

Stayed 5 nights and only had issues one night with people drinking and shouting in the hallway which you will hear in your room. Staff was great and accommodating, continental breakfast was ok, cofffee was good. Overall safe place to be and rest up. The rest of the nights were noise free, because staff talked to the people who were there the one night and no feeelings were hurt, all good. Thank you for making my stay comfortable.
