Solid stay, convenient location

convenient location on-site parking comfortable bed modern bathroom
The location was really convenient. The town center was only a short walk away. On-site parking was available, and it was very helpful! The room was large and the bed was comfortable. I found the bathroom modern with good night-time lighting.
The chair in the bedroom had badly torn upholstery!
Dining

Breakfast included a mini buffet. This featured a good selection of items. Optional hot dishes were available as well. This meant that everyone could find something they liked to eat, and it set us up well for the day.
