Mixed experience. Some issues noted

tight entrancesmall room

The corridors was like a maze. It was difficult to navigate between rooms. the entrance to the car park was a real problem. I had to fold in the side mirrors to get through. the room was very small, and the bathroom felt cramped. parking in general was unfriendly, as is common in this country. I expected better from this hotel.
