the parking area was quite spacious and accessible. i appreciated the large, well-equipped rooms. the complimentary wifi worked without fault. the staff displayed genuine warmth and attentiveness.
i found the absence of a safe in the room a minor inconvenience given the otherwise excellent facilities.

large roomsingle bedclean roomwarm roomsafety lockuncomfortable heat
the room was quite large. i only used the single bed. the room was very clean and well laid out. providing water and some snacks was a novel idea and i appreciated it.
the room was excessively warm and the radiators were off. the fan in the room only recirculated warm air. i was unable to open the window fully because of a safety lock. the heat in the room made it very uncomfortable.
