a heartfelt escape

city viewspacious roomuseful amenities
The location provided easy access to employers and offices. The train station was only 20 minutes away. my room, on the top floor, gave me a great view of the city. the room was spacious, i found a microwave, a fridge, and ironing equipment, all i could ask for.
the air conditioner in the room was quite noisy. this was a minor distraction from an otherwise lovely experience.

the hotel included a really nice breakfast with various options. the gym on site had the equipment i needed for a quick workout. the room also had a microwave and a mini fridge, useful.
i found some stains on my sheets on the first night. i moved a chair and found a sock and some garbage from a previous guest. this level of cleanliness was disappointing, but not significant enough to interrupt my stay.
