Reviews and Ratings
I found the hotel to be conveniently located near the motorways and fairly close to the event we attended, but I was disappointed by the unacceptable distance to the nearest shop for a drink. The service on the night shift was excellent, yet I wished the rooms had a bath and offered free tea and coffee.
The hotel is conveniently located with easy access to motorways and just a short walk to a shop for convenience. It's fairly close to the event we attended and near the train station, but the proximity to a noisy place for drinks could be bothersome. Rooms are clean but could be improved with free tea and coffee amenities and better shower facilities. Service during the night shift was decent, but could use a bit more attention. The dining experience, especially with Mexican dishes included, was satisfactory. Overall, it's a decent stay with some room for enhancement.
The hotel is conveniently located, with easy access to motorways and an attached restaurant. The rooms are clean but could use some improvements, and having free tea and coffee would be a nice touch. The night shift service was attentive and helpful. The proximity to essential facilities nearby is a plus, although the nearby shop for drinks may not meet expectations.
