The rooms are well kept. Food and drinks had good quality. The location proved convenient for continuing my journey north. Staff welcomed me warmly and were eager to please. I enjoyed the comfortable roomwith an excellent shower.
The music from the bar area was audible in my room. I could hear the noise due to the hard floor above. It was not ideal.
