The staff were FRIENDLY. They provided excellent breakfast. The location is fantastic. It is very close to the station. I found the on-site parking particularly helpful, removing any stress about finding a space. The central location made exploring easy, with many attractions nearby.

Adequate stay

warm staff nice selection large suitcase crammed bedroom parking space noisy street
The staff greeted me warmly. Breakfast provided a nice selection of items and i got milk alternatives for coffee. I was allowed to leave my large suitcase with them.
My bedroom was very crammed and lacked enough sockets. I found it difficult to locate a parking space despite a parking voucher. The street outside was noisy in the early morning.
