Comfy bed and friendly staff, but I would never stay here or in a JS hotel again.
This hotel really demonstrates why four stars don’t necessarily mean quality. The room had nowhere to sit, and even the desk didn’t properly fit without some rather creative DIY modification by the hotel.
The real deal-breaker, was how difficult it was to actually sleep here. The “entertainment” is blasted out until 11pm, with ABBA tribute acts and other live music loud enough to hear clearly inside the room. If you’re retired and don’t mind staying up late, perhaps that’s fine, but if you need to get up early, it’s incredibly disruptive. It wasn’t just that I could hear the music, it was that is was incredibly disruptive.
And even once the entertainment stopped, the balcony lights remained on until late into the night. The curtains are nowhere near good enough to block the light, so the room never really gets dark either.
So despite having a comfortable bed, the combination of loud music late into the evening and a room that couldn’t be properly darkened made getting a decent night’s sleep surprisingly difficult. Friendly staff and a comfortable bed don't really count for much if you can't sleep.
I could probably have overlooked all of that if I hadn’t paid more than I would have for several other hotels in the area. Having now seen those alternatives, they were considerably nicer and more modern than this hotel and it's photos had led me to believe.
