comfortable bedearly breakfastfull car park
I find the location is great in a quiet square near the historic centre. the bed feels comfortable in my recently refurbished room. breakfast starts early. This worked well for my flight.
The hotel advertised having parking. I booked for this reason. when i arrived, the car park was full and i received a map of other car parks. i spend more time to find parking and paid extra money for parking.
