easy accessample parkingfirm bedlumpy pillow
The location was convenient because of the easy access from the motorway. There was a good welcome at the front desk and also ample parking.
The bed felt too firm for me. I found only one lumpy pillow.

slow wifiroad noise
I was frustrated about the parking fee (it's ridiculous to charge guests for parking at a motorway hotel). The WiFi was also slow. It barely allowed me to check my emails without constant buffering. I found this especially annoying as I needed to plan my onward journey. The road noise was pretty bad. I could hear cars speeding by all night.
