the room was spacious and clean. the breakfast buffet offered a good selection of choices. the hotel's proximity to the football stadium was really convenient.

i found that some basic amenities were missing in the room , like a mini fridge and bathroom slippers. the air conditioning unit was quite loud, a bit disruptive. the noise from early morning bin collections was also a nuisance.

I found the staff helpful and polite. They really were very good (i especially liked the quick check-in!). the hotel's location was perfect for walking to the city centre and nearby attractions. free parking outside made our arrival simple.

the bathroom grout showed some mould in places, a bit disappointing. i think attention to detail in cleaning is crucial.
