some issues need addressing

poor breakfast noisy refrigerator
The cleanliness was not up to standard. i noticed toothpaste marks on the tiles and also some dust. the provided breakfast was also disappointing. Some items were clearly past their expiration date, it not make sense to provide food if the quality is so poor. the refrigerator was too noisy throughout the night to.

the location is convenient for travel.
The breakfast selection was not excellent (it lacked variety). the fridge was noisy throughout the night. This disturbed my sleep. the overall cleanliness could improve, as i spotted cobwebs.

a WONDERFUL stay

secure parking spacious flat thoughtful freebies
I found the secure parking VERY convenient. The spacious flat reminded me of home. The bed was comfortable, and the location suited my needs WELL. I appreciated the thoughtful freebies including beer, wine, breakfast, and snack options.
I noticed some noise as the hotel is close to the road. The road noise was noticeable, particularly at night. I suggest earplugs for light sleepers.
