a proper, charming find

useful bus clean room lots power points daily room service

i found lots of power points, really handy. the bus into the city center was right across the road, so that was useful. the room was clean, really nice, and big! they had daily room service if i wanted it.

the check in was inside the bar, i had to wait a bit for them to serve other guests.

Location

9/10

the hotel offers a location outside the city with regular bus services nearby. i also observed several shops not far from the building. it felt conveniently placed for both quiet and accessibility.
