The self check-in process was convenient. The room size was ample. I found the bed comfortable and all essential amenities were present. A variety of breakfast items were available in the communal kitchen, a thoughtful touch and the free parking was beneficial.
I noticed a slight noise level due to the proximity to the main road.

the room was very clean, i noticed that immediately! the kitchen had a good selection of breakfast items. good transport connections are available, buses take you to train stations. the room decor was nice and bright.
The room was small, i thought. the bed was uncomfortable. The mattress could use replacing. there was a strange smell in the bathroom. Maybe it was from the drains.

comfortable staykitchen facilitiesclean roomno stafftight parkingguest noise
The kitchen had everything I needed. The location was great for my needs. The room was clean.
I find there was no staff available. I had to make my own breakfast, but its not a big problem. The noise from other guests coming and going at night bothered me. The parking had very tight spaces.

good parkingconvenient kitchenfood optionssmall kettle
i booked the double room for one night before a flight. the hotel is close to the airport, about a ten-minute drive. i easily found parking outside the building. the kitchen had many options for food (i saw cereals!) and space to store my own items.
the kettle in the bedroom was small. it took a while to boil enough water for two cups of tea.
