stuffy roomqr code
i wasn't thrilled with some things. the room felt stuffy, and a fan would of helped . also, dealing with the qr code to watch tv was just a bit much after a long day. the lighting was also a problem. i wish the bedside lamps provided more illumination.
I appreciated the well-decorated room. It had a very good shower and towels. the quiet atmosphere. The hotel provided free parking which was very convenient. I enjoyed the excellent breakfast with a good selection of food included in the room rate. The speciality coffee machine was a real treat.
The bright lighting in the room made it difficult to relax completely in the evening. The bedside glass lamps provided insufficient light for reading before sleep.
Location
9/10
The hotel is near the town square, a convenient spot for exploring nearby shops and restaurants, as well as the market that occurs every fourth Saturday of the month, offering local goods. Ease of parking is a bonus, especially on days other than the market, when spaces are readily available directly outside.
Rooms

Our superior king room had a comfortable king-size bed with quality bedlinen that ensured restful sleep. There were stacks of teabags and milk sachets. These allowed us to enjoy hot drinks at our leisure. A powerful shower provided an invigorating start to each day.

The breakfast was tasty and of good quality.
The room was quite noisy. Drinkers and cars at the back and front of the hotel made a lot of noise after midnight. People talked outside after closing time. There was no fan in the room so it felt stuffy
