Really good City Center Suites!

bedroom suiteeasy ramphelpful hotelboiler issue
The three bedroom suite had an really good space, really! Two folks used crutches due to injuries, and there was tons room to move about. Ramps from the front door were so welcomed. Its closeness to the central area meant a wheelchair was easy to use! The hotel provided some assistance for us to manage our stay which was fantastic.
The boiler had issues the whole time, I reported it to reception since I could not get hot water. It ran hot for mere minutes. I could not use the bath. The boiler needed resetting all the time.

the apartment was spacious and well equipped. i found the bed to be very comfortable, resulting in a good night's sleep. the location was excellent for shopping and reaching tourist spots. i appreciated the proximity to both train and tram stations for easy airport travel.
the tv was a bit old and did not support app streaming.

the staff was helpful, particularly at reception, assisting with storing our bags after checkout since our departure was late. they let us keep our bags.. this made our final day much easier, as we explored the city without luggage.
