convenient location helpful staff pool table small room strict curfew missing kettle
the location was quite convenient for exploring. the staff were helpful with directions and local information (they really knew the area). the room was clean upon arrival and the games room had a pool table, a nice addition.
The room was quite small. Moving around the bed was a bit challenging. the hotel enforced a 1 am curfew, inconvenient for late nights. there was no kettle in the room for making coffee.
