The room was really big and clean. The blackout curtains worked great, so the room was dark. The bed was comfy, and the staff were nice. I liked that parking was close to the reception area.
The place looks tired from the outside, it needs some love.

Fantastic stay!

friendly stafflarge roomblackout curtains
Check-in was quick and the receptionist offered a friendly welcome! The staff at the on-site pub were friendly, particularly the fellow who also handled my checkout. I appreciated the large size of my room. It contained everything I needed for my stay. The curtains functioned as effective blackout blinds, promoting restful sleep.
I noticed the decor looked a bit old fashioned when parking the car. It gave a slightly tired first impression, though the interior was clean.
