inconvenient parking rigid time slot
I found the parking situation quite difficult. There were no available spaces nearby upon arrival, and I had to park several streets away. It was inconvenient with luggage. the breakfast time slot between 8 and 9 am seemed rigid and more convenient for the staff than for the guests.

Mixed Experience at Town Centre Location

The location is certainly central for exploring the town centre..
I was disappointed to find the room much smaller than anticipated. Online pictures can be misleading. the heating seemed ineffective at night, causing some discomfort. On-street parking proved challenging as well.

nice selection short walk small bed off-street parking
Breakfast offered a very nice selection. Everything was freshly prepared and quite delicious. It was NOT a buffet. The location was excellent. It was just a short walk to the town center.
The beds were too small, it was difficult to get restful sleep. There was no off-street parking. Finding a space again was nearly impossible after leaving.
