The staffs was very friendly. All of them. The breakfast had an excellent choice, and there was plenty of it. The park and ride is a short distance away from this location.

The room looked tired and worn. I asked for help with the heating dial. I was told the heating wasn't working, so I ask for another duvet, and I called the front desk multiple times, but no one answered.
