While rooms can be snug, particularly for larger groups, the inclusion of bicycle rentals strikes me as a genuinely progressive amenity.

fantastic stay!

helpful staff early access pizza maker

the staff were helpful and allowed us early access to our room since it was ready. the room was thoroughly cleaned it also had great amenities. i found the automated pizza maker in the lobby quite convenient after a long day of exploring.

the window overlooked an interior hallway so privacy required keeping the curtains closed. it was only a minor inconvenience.

pizza machine early check big room soundproof room shower curtain floor design

the room was quite big compared to other properties. the pizza machine inside the hotel saved me from going out in the rain! i was able to check in early around noon. it was useful since i was very tired.

the room wasn't soundproof. i heard people walking in the room upstairs all night! the shower should have a curtain. a better floor design is needed, so the floor doesn't flood after showering.

spacious room clean room pizza machine soft bed inadequate curtain small room

The room was quite spacious and clean. i liked that the hotel has a pizza machine inside. It saved me from going out in the rain. i was able to check in early around noon, helpful as i was very tired.

the beds were too soft for my liking. the curtains did not block out the lights well enough. also, the room was too small. it was hard to fit 2 suitcases comfortably.

mixed feelings about the stay

thin walls broken bed

The rooms were clean and the staff were friendly. The hotel includes a pizza maker in reception.

The bed was a little broken. The walls are thin so i could hear noises and loud talking from neighboring rooms. People next door listened to loud music and shouted, it was like they were in my room.
