excellent stay

friendly staffspacious roomcomfortable beddingwalk-in shower
the staff were very friendly and professional , and i found our room to be spacious. it was also spotlessly clean with comfortable bedding. i liked the bathroom , it included a walk in shower.
i found the walls to be quite thin , and noise from neighboring rooms was noticeable at times. it was a slight inconvenience , but did not significantly impact my stay.

the breakfast buffet offered a decent selection of options. i appreciated the croissants , which were a standout item , and there was a slight inconsistency in buffet replenishment on the second day.

parking was ample and well spaced. i was delighted with the provision for disabled guest parking as one of our group used a wheelchair. the spar shop and filling station are a real bonus.
