the room was a decent size and the bed was comfy enough, so that was alright.

I was not happy that the air conditioning barely worked and it was hot . the noise at night kept me awake. I heard other guests and traffic. also, there was no mini fridge in the room and i expect that.

Fantastic Stay Near the Highway

working kitchenettecoffee machinedelicious breakfastnice design

The room included a kitchenette with a coffee machine. It also had a kettle with enough supplies. Breakfast had very good items. The girls enjoyed pancakes. The room had a nice design that let the kids sleep on a sofa bed on the other side of the wall. This provided some separation and let us keep an ear out.

The parking cost twenty euros in an open parking lot. This price seems expensive for this area.

Location

This hotel is situated close to the highway. This feature helps those traveling through the area to quickly reach their destination. The surrounding area offers a quiet environment despite the proximity to the highway.
