Reliable and Convenient Stopover

friendly staff good selection comfy bed

I found the staff to be friendly. Breakfast had a good selection of food options, and the restaurant was well-managed. The room provided convenient facilities. I had an iron and ironing board. The bed was comfy.

I stayed in a room with an adjoining door, and I could clearly hear noises from the adjacent room. This made it difficult to relax. I wish the sound insulation had been better.
