a pleasant stay with some drawbacks
convenient locationnice selectionpleasant stafflate breakfastblocked parkingsmall bedroom
the hotel's location was quite convenient. it was near the venue i was attending. the food was also quite good with a nice selection of dishes. the staff was always pleasant.
The breakfast was not served until 8.30! i had to order on checkin. the parking was free, but i was blocked in by the hotel's own coach. my room was very small. There was no heating at all in the room.
