Fantastic stay!
clean roomcomfy bedslarge towel
The room was very clean. I enjoyed the comfy beds. The bathroom was clean. I also found a socket right next to the bed, very convenient (i thought it was great!).
I noticed only one large towel in my room. The realization came too late. The second person already stepped out of the shower (we had to laugh).
Location

The staff were friendly throughout my stay. The location provided easy motorway access. My room included everything needed for my SHORT stay, everything WAS clean.
The room looked tired. A fresh paint coat is needed. The tv had few channels that worked. This was DISAPPOINTING. Some updated rugs would help.
