quick check-in spacious room provided croissants

the staff helped me check in quickly and were available for any questions. i found the room spacious and clean. early morning departure meant missing breakfast, but the staff prepared coffee and croissants for my travels.

The limited parking spaces in front of the hotel proved slightly inconvenient some evenings. I hope a better solution can be implemented in the future
