I found the staff quite friendly and helpful . the breakfast had surprising variety for a smaller place, it was well stocked. i also appreciated finding a tissue box in the bathroom. A small, but nice touch.
the hotel advertised available parking, but this wasn't quite accurate. i had to park a 20-minute walk away near the station. this should be clarified .

The room was big with a huge window protected by mosquito mesh I liked it. There was a fridge and a safe in the room I found that very useful. The bathroom was nice and clean with a walk in shower the water pressure was great.
There were no tea making facilities in the room I would have liked that. The price of the room felt expensive considering available facilities. The room wasn't ready when I arrived at 4pm I had to wait a bit.

The hotel provided free parking nearby, a real advantage. The staff offered really good friendliness and help, which I valued. My room had a fridge, very useful for storing drinks and snacks.
