the room was clean and modernized except for the bathroom. The staff was friendly and ok.

Breakfast menu could include hot food, and probably not impacting costs. Gym could have some weights to bring more choices to the customers. Carpet on halway had stains and dark spots. Excellent service, very kind staff, with the culture of supporting the guests.

The staff were amazing here. We had a first floor room near the road and if i were l to book again, I would get a second floor room so that I didn’t have to listen to the people above me thumping around. I would also ask for a room further from the road as the city train runs all hours of the night. There are no weights in the weight room, just 3 cardio machines. Breakfast was decent, lots of carbs. Overall, a good value for your money.
