broken record player poor kitchen maintenance

The lack of proper maintenance was apparent. The record player in the room was non-functional. Its presence was merely decorative. The kitchen cupboard doors were coming apart, a testament to neglect, and the kitchen tap seemed on the verge of detachment. These issues, combined with the price.

adequate but missing expected touches

faulty shower controls missing amenities

This time, the room felt less special than it should. some promised amenities were missing like complimentary beverages and snacks i was expecting. the bathroom needed attention. The shower controls were faulty. the overall maintenance seemed lacking. I found the experience disappointing.

old bathroom cigarette smell

the location was central and the staff gave a parking discount (i guess that's nice).

The room was not a brewdog hotel, it was more like apartments renovated on the cheap. the bathroom was quite old with floor tiles falling off. The shower was a low point. there was a noisy casino across the street with loud people smoking late into the night. My clothes smelled like cigarettes, not ideal (to say the least).

great city center suite

quick check-in spacious suite sizeable bathroom full-sized fridge

check-in was quick. i found the suite larger than expected, a welcome surprise (i appreciated the extra space). the bathroom featured a sizable wet room design. i was pleased to see a full-sized fridge in the room, along with a washing machine and oven.

The lack of readily available cooking utensils made using the oven impractical. I had hoped to prepare a simple meal but could not.

the hotel features a bar downstairs. it appears to be popular, as there was a lively atmosphere most evenings. i also noted there is a secure entry system adding peace of mind.

Location

the hotel benefits from being located right in the heart of the city center. this positioning made access to shops and restaurants very convenient. the proximity to the train station was also a plus, as it was a short walk.
