The location was central, close to the town and riverside. I found the breakfast to be excellent. It was freshly cooked to order. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Parking space was guaranteed, a big plus.
The double room I had was quite small. Access to the reception entrance was difficult due to the car park being full. There was no clear pathway, inconvenient with luggage.

cramped room missing fan
The room felt somewhat cramped. The bathroom looked a little outdated because it had no mixer tap. I found just one chair for storing clothes, and that was obviously inadequate for two people. I also noted the room lacked a fan despite its sunny location, so the heat lingered, though the outdoor temperature was only around 24 degrees Celsius.
