a decent stay overall

helpful staffcentral locationtasty breakfastsmall roomtired bathroomfaulty tv
the staff was very helpful. from the reception to the breakfast service , everyone was cute. attending an event nearby was easy because of the location , taxis were not needed. i found the breakfast tasty , and there was plenty of it.
the room was small , though i knew this when i booked. the bathroom seemed a bit tired and could have been cleaner. also , the tv did not work , i think they need to check plugs more often.
