low water pressureold carpet
i was not happy that the water pressure in the shower was low. the facilities are quite old, and the corridors smell like old carpet. if you are sensitive to light, sleeping after sunrise is difficult because the curtains do not completely block the light.

The room was clean. Breakfast offered a large selection (I particularly enjoyed the fresh fruit). The location allowed quick access to local shops and restaurants.
The parking area can get quite full during peak hours (consider arriving early to secure a spot).
