poor heatinglimited milk
the heating wasn't great . on one particularly cold night, it stopped working completely. i understand it's timed, but it left the room quite chilly. the small amount of milk provided for hot drinks was also a bit disappointing, i would have liked more.

excellent stay!
excellent locationlocal menusspacious roomsmart lock
The location proved excellent. It was a quick walk to the town center. the provided information folder in the room included handy local menus. the king room i had was spacious and bright. It even accommodated an extra bed. the smart lock and ring doorbell added an element of security, which i appreciated.
I noticed minimal hot drink options. There were no sweeteners available, only sugar.
