free minibartram stop
The room was large, so there was plenty of space for my belongings. The complimentary minibar was awesome. Drinks were restocked every day! The breakfast selection was excellent. I could easily walk into town. there's a tram stop right outside.
I had to pay extra for parking.

The hotel location was convenient, especially the proximity to the tram stop.
The room was too hot, and the climate control system was slow (it barely worked). I requested a tablet for room service, but one was not available. The loud music from an unannounced performance disrupted sleep and scraping noises continued late into the night.

The hotel provided shampoo, conditioner, and handwash of high quality. Usually, hotel conditioners disappoint. this conditioner surprised me! the tram stop located directly outside was so convenient. it made exploring the area effortless. the staff offered helpful recommendations for local restaurants.
The parking fee felt expensive after a few days. I didn't realize it would add up so much.
