Guests like the location of the hotel, saying it offers very easy access to the hospitals, as well as to the university. Whether you’re visiting someone or here or you’re visiting on business, the straightforward drive or free shuttle service makes life easy.
While people like different kinds of bed, guests overwhelmingly praise the comfort of the beds here. It seems that the premium bedding really does make a difference, so you can just kick back, relax and drift off to dreamland in complete comfort.
Guests think that for the price they’re paying, breakfast really should be included in the room rate, but unfortunately, you’ll have to pay extra. If you’re staying for a few days, or catering for the whole family, the cost of this can soon add up.
The standard rooms at this hotel are smaller than average, according to guests. Once you’re in with all your luggage, there might not be that much space leftover to relax in, and you may find that luggage storage options are somewhat limited.
Guests say that there can sometimes be lengthy queues at the café, bistro and front desk, so you can’t always grab a quick coffee and go, or be sure of a speedy check-out. At busy periods, the hotel could use a few more staff members on duty to deal with demand.
