the room was clean with a comfortable bed and plump pillows. The shower was powerful and easy to use with big towels. refills of tea coffee and milk were generous, i appreciated that. plenty of parking was available outside the accommodation.
the online check-in did not save any time, i still had to wait in the queue. i had to ask multiple times for fresh towels, it was quite inconvenient. the wi-fi connection was not very reliable.
