“Positioned near the town center with private parking, the location proves convenient. I noted mentions of tired interiors and cleanliness issues, balanced against reports of friendly, helpful staff. For travellers prioritizing budget and location over immaculate décor, this stay could be considered.”

the location proves convenient with easy access to the area amenities. the room presented itself clean, complemented by ample supplies. friendly staff contributed positively to my visit. a nice private bar offered a great relaxing space.

I noticed a small radiator in my room that emitted minimal warmth. the bathroom completely lacked any heating, it made the space uncomfortably cold. i informed the receptionist about this issue. The situation was not resolved.
