some issues, not great value

friendly staffhigh costparking situation
the staff were friendly and i liked how close it was to public transport.
The cost felt really high for what it is. the parking situation wasnt great. i got a printout with a picture instead of a google maps address, and we had to carry our bags quite a ways. walking around outside the hotel wasnt pleasant either. The area nearby wasnt as nice as the city center.
