The online description mentioned parking, but it was not available upon my arrival. a distinct cigarette odor permeated the foyer. It was off-putting. The smell really affected my stay.

I loved how nice and neat my room was! the shared spaces were also really well-stocked with essentials. the location worked great (only a quick walk to the city center!), it was super handy for getting around. i especially liked the kitchenette on the landing. It had everything i needed.

The parking situation was a little tricky. The back lot filled up quickly, and there weren't clear instructions for alternative options.

My room had a comfy bed and plenty of space. It felt very homey! there was a sink right in the room (which was super convenient!), and everything was well kept, so i felt right at home.

The hotel is a short walk from the city center, made exploring really easy. it's also close to the railway station. Traveling was quick and convenient. the road was quiet, so i slept well.
