Location
Reviews and Ratings
The hotel rooms were very clean and pleasant, offering a nice, clean environment. However, they were rather small and fitted with 5 machines and a bench, which could feel crowded with more than two people. The location was convenient for travels and had restaurants and stores nearby, including a nice tavern with great food. The hotel offers car hire, dry cleaning, housekeeping, and shuttle services.
The hotel offers spacious rooms at a reasonable price, though some items were broken and amenities were lacking. The service was generally pleasant and accommodating, but there were some delays in staff availability. The location is excellent, convenient for various activities, yet lacking in some areas of cleanliness. The dining experience was disappointing, with pre-packaged options that did not match the website depiction. Overall, a decent stay with room for improvement.
