Decent Stay, But Some Issues

noise insulationpowdered eggs

The noise insulation proved inadequate. A neighboring guest was rather loud late into the night, and it sounded like they were rearranging furniture. It really disrupted my sleep. The breakfast selection also felt a bit limited. The scrambled eggs tasted suspiciously like they came from a powder. No one wants powdered eggs.

central locationequipped room

the location is quite central with easy access to both the road and the train network. my 'standard twin room hot' was adequately equipped for my needs (i found everything i needed).

I noticed the breakfast area could get a bit crowded during peak hours. That was the only drawback.

the location near the car park and leisure facilities was acceptable the breakfast was also decent.

the bathroom unfortunately had an unpleasant smell like drainage it was quite off putting the sink also wasn't thoroughly cleaned leaving visible grime near the drain this was hard to miss as it was right in front of you in the mirror the small fan provided little relief from the room's stuffiness.
