i found the staff cute upon my arrival. the room was clean and included all necessary amenities. breakfast was a good extra, with a considerable selection of options to choose from, i was happy about the short distance to the city center!

i noticed the lack of off-street parking at the hotel, finding another space became difficult when i went out. i would like a fridge in the room to store fresh milk and cold water. the provision of toilet roll also seemed to be somewhat limited.
