spacious room decent selection friendly staff full car park loud music hand dryer

The room was quite spacious. Breakfast offered a decent selection. The staff members displayed a friendly attitude. The location also provides convenient access to the city centre.

The car park was often full. I had to park further down the street one evening. The first night, the music from the bar was quite loud. The noise from the hand dryers in the toilets was also noticeable, continuing until late at night.

the location was alright, only a short walk to the train station.

I was quite disappointed with the room. there were no black out curtains. Street visibility was an issue, especially while dressing. the bed was also uncomfortable. The mattress had a noticeable dip in the middle
