My organization has used the hotel for events for years! The events team's support is top notch. Whether it is a small meeting or a lunch for seventy people, the staff provides professional support. Function rooms are great and the restaurant always provides high quality food. Anna and Francesca offer particular support!
The shower was a little outdated, also some tiles had mold.

this hotel is close to the university campus. the staff accommodated my request for free car parking, as i am a priority club member (a nice touch!). the room was always kept tidy. i also enjoyed a burger for my evening meal, the menu seemed larger than at other places.
the rooms are of an older style and could benefit from an upgrade.

The location proved convenient for my needs.
The cleanliness was REALLY questionable. I found some hairs in the bathroom. The room looked a bit dated, too. The hallway carpet looked very worn, so the hotel needs some maintenance.
