Excellent Stay at a Convenient Location

friendly staffspacious roomconvenient location
The staff members were very friendly and super helpful, assisting with every request. The room was spacious and clean, situated near the entrance. I could see my car from the window, which gave me additional peace of mind.
The corridors had a slightly musty smell, and they were dimly lit.

a sweet escape!

lovely lightgenerous sizequiet atmosphereold sweat
My room had such lovely light and felt generously sized with convenient phone-charging sockets. i found the heating very easy to adjust. the quiet atmosphere helped ensure a restful night's sleep. It was pure bliss. the hotel's proximity to the a1 motorway also made traveling simpler.
The pillows seemed to retain a faint smell of old sweat. This detracted from the otherwise pristine experience. upon mentioning it, i felt the response was a little dismissive.
