“The staff here are notably friendly, and the beds provide a comfortable rest. Its location proves convenient, and the blackout blinds are a thoughtful touch for a good night's sleep. While the rooms could benefit from a refresh, the value for money is clear, especially with thoughtful amenities like refrigerators and microwaves.”
