Excellent Stopover!

handy locationplentiful parkingcute stafftraffic noise
The location was handy as it's right next to the motorway. I found plentiful parking available at the hotel and did not have to worry about finding a space. The staff were very cute! and I felt very comfortable .
My room faced the motorway, and I could hear some traffic noise. Though the room was comfortable, this was slightly disruptive.
Rooms
9/10
The room had a comfortable bed and good bathroom setup. The room included a television and the walls were thick enough to block outside noise. I had a good stay and the room was in great condition.
