the location suited my travel plans well enough.
The noise was a real issue. I heard every footstep throughout the night. there was also a spider in my room, and even after reporting it, another one looked. it was a pretty unpleasant experience for me.

Super clean and Convenient Stay

secure car parkhelpful staffsuper clean roomprompt breakfast
I found parking directly outside the reception, a definite plus for security. The staff efficiently handled check-in and provided drinks and snacks. My room, located in the annex, was modern, spacious, and super clean. Breakfast was promptly served and good value, which helped us get on our way quickly the next morning.
The corridors had some creaky, uneven sections..
