Practical Stay Near the Arena

late pizzaclean roomchunky pillows
Check-in was quick. Nice pizza was available late! The staff were nice. The room was simple and clean. These features worked well for my short stay.
The pillows felt a tad chunky and not very comfortable. This impacted my sleep quality. I think new pillows would improve the experience.

the staff checked me in quickly and were friendly. The room provided everything needed for a short stay. i liked the compact and clean design of the double room. the location was surprisingly accessible to transport links.
the carpark was full on arrival which caused some inconvenience. i had to find alternative parking nearby which added extra time to my arrival. this was a minor issue but worth noting for future stays.
