Some rooms feature an in-room spa bath or jacuzzi; availability should be requested directly. A selection of rooms also offers walk-in showers.

Renovations are underway - two of three floors are complete, with the first floor being updated. While many rooms are clean and comfortable with updated interiors, some rooms may show signs of wear such as stained carpets or bathroom mould, so requesting a recently renovated room is advisable.

A full hot continental breakfast is served daily from the morning, including waffles, scrambled eggs, pastries, juice and coffee. The breakfast is a good value for a free offering. For other meals, on-site vending machines with drinks and snacks are available.

The breakfast area may run out of food, so arriving early is suggested.
