Ample parking space was available.
The soundproofing was insufficient. I easily heard other guests walking above. The card payment process proved difficult. The restaurant, where i needed TO pay, remained closed until 1 pm on my departure day. I received NO receipt until several days later, after paying over the phone.

Practical and Pleasant Stay

great locationample parkingspacious roomscoffee facilities
The location is great. It is a short walk into the town center. Ample parking space is outside the hotel. The rooms are spacious. Our room included en-suite facilities with shampoo and body wash.
The website said coffee-making facilities were in the room. We had to go downstairs for hot water for instant coffee and tea. I think this needs to be updated .
