perfect location helpful staff comfortable bed
the hotel is in a perfect location. i parked at the cathedral car park nearby. the hotel staff were cute and helpful. the room was clean and the bed was comfortable.
the bathroom window would not open so there was no ventilation. the window was broken with black mold. a sticker stated steam can set off smoke alarms. i had to keep the bathroom door open when showering.
