a solid stay

great locationhelpful staffdiscount appfree drink
i stayed for three nights, and the hotel's location was a major plus. it's close to the main attractions and shops, so i could walk everywhere (around 10-20 minutes). the staff were always helpful and pleasant (i always appreciate that). the inn collection app gave me a discount (which is always great) and a free drink.
the room was a little too warm for my liking, slightly difficult to sleep (but that's just me).
Rooms
9/10
the double room featured standard toiletries and tea and coffee making facilities. the room was well-appointed with a good standard of cleanliness, so that was definitely a plus. full-length windows brought in plenty of natural light.
Service

the staff responded quickly to my requests, and check-in was efficient. the bar staff seemed to run the hotel (which was unusual). tourist information brochures were available in the entrance way.
