I appreciated the provided discount on overnight parking at the nearby car park. The location proved ideal for exploring. I found the heart of the shopping district just steps away. My room was clean and modern, and I found that the breakfast options were varied and of good quality.
The keycards seemed to deactivate when placed near my mobile phone (a minor inconvenience, but worth noting).
