just okay, i suppose

nice breakfastsmall bedhard mattress
the breakfast was alright i guess it did the job.
the double bed was laughably small it reminded me of a twin i barely fit and the duvet barely covered it. a light was out on the desk making it hard to get any work done. the mattress was also like sleeping on concrete it was not a good night.

nice buffetfull blastdeliberate attempt
The breakfast included a nice buffet (i especially liked the allergy notices!).
The communal areas had the air conditioning on full blast. It felt freezing, a deliberate attempt at driving guests away. I complained twice, but it did not help.

Comfortable and Convenient Stay

good size tvcomfortable bedgreat breakfast selection
The room had a good size TV and a very comfortable bed. The room itself was a good size, and it was very quiet. The breakfast included a great selection of choices, which I found satisfying. I also liked that if you had forgotten a toothbrush, you could ask at reception.
Location

The hotel is situated close to the M4, so it's easy to find when driving. On-site parking provides convenient access and I found it plentiful. There is a delicious Thai restaurant not too far from the hotel.

Breakfast options were okay but I found them to be the same every day. Evening meals are available at the hotel. I did not partake , so I am unable to comment on that.
