the room was spacious and clean, i was grateful. breakfast was very good, i enjoy it. the staff was very friendly, they helped me to carry my luggage. i would visit again for a similar stay.
the car park was a bit far from the hotel, i noticed. it made transporting luggage slightly difficult. i hope they will address this inconvenience for future visitors.
