the breakfast was fine.
I booked a suite and was underwhelmed by the lack of extras. the suite had no name. It was called room 214. the door to the living room did not close properly (i noticed this immediately). the small sample toiletries left in the bathroom were also minimal.

The hotel's location was convenient. It was easy to get around. The breakfast was quite good. I also liked that there were complimentary tea cakes in the room.
The room felt stuffy and hot. The bed was not comfortable. I had to run the shower for ten minutes to get hot water. Staff said the pipes are old, and that this happens every time
