Cozy stay with fantastic dinner
clean room fresh breakfast helpful staff local ingredients
The room was clean and fresh. Breakfast was fantastic. The staff were helpful. The room was also well furnished and modern (i especially enjoyed the up to date toilet!). I had dinner and breakfast here. Both were of a very good standard. Fresh, local sourced ingredients were noticeable.
The room had only one towel for two guests, BUT this was quickly resolved.

The hotel offers good parking spaces. That is also important. The hotel also provides modern en-suite facilities in every room. The rooms include comfortable beds and quiet surroundings. These are valuable.

rude person bad soundproofing
Breakfast was great. I ate lunch as well, and it was very good.
The person who checked me in seemed rude. The soundproofing in the rooms is bad. I could hear conversations and the TV from the next room so clearly. I had to call the reception, but nothing changed.

Excellent stay with great service
friendly service comfortable room
the breakfast was excellent with friendly service. it made for a great start to the day. i appreciated the attention to detail. the room was very comfortable and perfectly suited my needs (i liked the extra top sheet).
the shower had signs of mold and the metal baskets for holding shower gels were rusty. i think a deep clean or replacement would improve the bathroom.
