Hotel has just average but there is one glaring issue, the smell. There is an overall scent the hotel uses that smells of musk and it’s everywhere. Fortunately it doesn’t permeate into the rooms but as soon as you walk in the door it hits you.
The hotel is centrally located with easy access to the tram and the breakfast was above average. But the overall condition is just average.
