uncomfortable bed maze-like layout
the breakfast was acceptable with a decent selection.
the room felt quite dated (i was in a 'standard double room') and the bed wasn't very comfortable. the air conditioning barely worked, so the room was too warm overnight. also, finding my way around inside was like navigating a maze.

Average Hotel Experience
room key error staff incompetence
The car parking space was sufficient for all guests.
Another guest received a key to my room while I was only wearing a towel. My husband was also undressing. We were quite shocked. I complained to reception, but the night staff had not documented the incident, and my key card was deactivated.
The room featured coffee making facilities. Free parking was available . The gym included a pool and was a reasonable size. I liked that the hotel is well-located near the motorway junction (very handy!).
Finding my way around inside the hotel was a bit of a maze.
