A Mixed Experience

unclean bidetlimited parking
I encountered an issue with cleanliness in the bathroom. The bidet had some remnants from previous guests, which I found quite off-putting. upon arrival, the parking spaces were all occupied. I had to park near a medical office and move the car early in the morning.

clean roomcomplimentary drinks
The room was very clean and warm even though it was winter. I also found complimentary drinks in the minibar , a nice touch. There was EV charging available with one charging pole and two sockets. It supported 22kwh and cost around 0.65 euro cent per kwh.
the HOTEL is just in front of a busy ROAD , so it was slightly noisy.
