amazing breakfastfriendly staffold furnituredifficult parking

the breakfast was amazing. i was not expecting such a spread for the price we paid, but it was a charming surprise. the staff were very friendly and always ready to help, a good experience!

The furniture in the room felt quite old and worn. also, finding parking was a real struggle. There was no designated parking at the hotel, so i had to park quite far away, not very convenient.

spacious roomconvenient facilitiesdirty carpet

I appreciated the spacious room with two double beds. the large bathroom also had convenient water, coffee, and tea facilities. the location was very accessible. I discovered plenty of commerce around, quite helpful.

i found that the carpet on the floor was not clean. the furniture and the mirror seemed outdated and could benefit from updates. a cleaner environment would certainly enhance the guest experience.
