simple check-in super clean room convenient location
check-in was simple with the self-service system (it felt very modern). the room was super clean and a nice size for my needs. its location near the bus station was very convenient for my travel plans.
the street-facing windows did let in quite a bit of noise, especially early in the morning. (this was a minor issue).

decent stay at good location

helpful staff lively bar great location low heating no cold water missing blankets
The hotel location worked for me. the bar downstairs was lively. i was able to leave my bags early before check-in. The woman at the restaurant was helpful.
My shower didn't have cold water. i was worried about getting burned. the heating was very low. The room seemed like an ice cellar. i needed more blankets.

loud music patchy wifi
The noise was a REAL problem. Music blasted from the bar downstairs until late. It made sleep almost impossible. I also found the check-in process annoying. It required calling someone to get into the room. The Wi-Fi was also patchy. I only got one or two bars .

the music from the bar downstairs was rather loud. it continued until late, which disrupted my sleep. i also found the self check-in process impersonal, i prefer having staff available for assistance.
