The breakfast had a great choice of foods.
The location proved quite inconvenient. It is a fair distance from the city center, and transport becomes necessary. The bathroom had an unpleasant odor. This was not ideal.

Free parking behind the hotel suited us very well. The staff were very helpful and friendly. Room cleanliness and a strong, hot shower were provided. It was NICE that the spa was available for private bookings.
The insulation in my room was poor. I could hear people walking and talking in the corridor. I also heard water running in other rooms. The location was disappointing. I thought bus access would be easier but it was NOT. The center is too far to visit on foot.
