The staff were helpful and friendly. The breakfast had a large selection of food that tasted good. I appreciated the car park on the premises. It made coming and going very easy.
The hotel hosted several events and weddings. This resulted in lots of noise late into the night from people partying. Guests smoked between the entry doors. The hall had a strong cigarette smell because of it.
