Solid Stay in Central Location
early check-in updated room convenient meals great location
I appreciated the early check-in and updated room. It really helped after a long journey. The on-site restaurant offered convenient meals several times , so I did not have to find alternatives. Complimentary tea, coffee, and snacks in the room were a plus. The location worked well as a bus stop was just outside.
My room felt a bit colder on the first night, so I requested an extra blanket. It was promptly delivered, but I would have preferred the room to be warmer initially.

The room was spacious and came with complementary tea and coffee. I found the bed comfortable. The room also had a modern bathroom with two separate sinks and a rainfall shower.

Acceptable stay with heating issues
ineffective heating electric heater
The location of this hotel is good.
The room was noticeably cold ,despite my attempts to adjust the thermostat. I contacted the front desk multiple times ,but the heat was not effectively addressed until an electric heater was provided late on the second day. This reliance on supplementary heating is unacceptable for a hotel of this standard.
