The staff was super kind and very helpful. Free tea and coffee were available 24 hours a day in the lounge. I enjoyed that the bedroom and bathroom both had a decent size and were clean.

The hotel is really dated. The lift is small. There were wires hanging out of the walls in the corridor. I noticed worn carpets that looked unclean!
