The staff was helpful and efficient.. i especially appreciated the manager's proactive message regarding my arrival and parking. Every staff member i interacted with was friendly. The location proved perfect, placing me just a short walk from the main town area. The hotel car park, located at the rear, allowed convenient parking right outside my room.
