i chose this hotel as a convenient stop on my journey. the parking was free and plentiful i noticed. inside the room had all i required for my short stay the bed was a welcome sight after my travels. the bathroom was clean and had adequate space for my needs. the staff were responsive to my needs. the check-in process was quick and efficient i observed. i needed a small item and they helped me promptly. i found their service exceeded my expectations. the breakfast provided a good selection of options. i was able to enjoy hot food that tasted fresh and well prepared. i noticed pastries and hot drinks were available and tempting. it was a good start to my day. the location was very convenient for my travel plans i must say. being near the motorway made onward journeys simple. i saw several dining options just across the road. this made finding an evening meal very easy.
i did notice some very slight wear in the corridors but it did not significantly affect my visit
