The staff at reception were friendly and helpful i found the room clean. I slept WELL the room temperature was well regulated. Parking is available and the walk to the center takes about 20 minutes.
The hotel IS tired it could use a makeover. The signage at the front is damaged this creates a poor first impression. The system providing draft beer was not working there were limited beverage options.

The staff were friendly and cute. they helped anyway they could. the room was clean, and the beds were comfy! it was close to the city center. you can walk or get a bus outside. Reception staff told us the bus number.
