The hotel location worked well. It was near the train station. The restaurant provided good food. I stored luggage at reception for some hours on departure day.
The hotel room felt very warm. The bar staff were not friendly during the weekend. I thought overnight parking was confusing because it expired at 9 am.

The breakfast was good. The location is perfect for accessing local amenities.
The room was unbearably hot. I had to use only a fan to circulate the heat instead of air conditioning. Getting some net curtains should be considered.
