noisy fridgeservice area view
Our room overlooked a service area. A less than stellar view. The mini-fridge in the room was quite noisy. It cycled on and off all night long. This made it difficult to sleep soundly and proved distracting, i was really annoyed. Maintenance should check appliances more regularly, to avoid such issues! We hoped for a quiet getaway, but the fridge noise hampered that.

The location was EXCELLENT! It was a short walk to the town center. The staff was friendly and helpful, I appreciated that.
The room was next to reception and noise traveled through, mainly at 7am when breakfast started.

unfortunately, my room was right next to the reception area. this was not ideal as the noise from the door and breakfast setup affected my sleep pattern. i felt there should have been a warning about this room placement.

the room was clean and tidy. parking was available on-site, a real bonus given the central location. the view from my room looked quite fine! breakfast offered a wide variety, and the staff were helpful.
The hotel does not have a card machine for payments. I had to pay in cash, it felt a bit inconvenient.
