The room was clean and equipped with everything i needed . The location proved really convenient as it was close to the international music venue. mark at reception secured free parking. the hotel provided good value overall.
The shower was tiny, and it took a bit for the hot water to come through. It did its job during my short stay though! the tv wasn't great, but i was mostly out exploring, so it didn't bother me that much.
