Reviews
We were welcomed by two lovely ladies at the reception who made sure that we were in need of nothing! We made good use of all the common areas and had the coffee making machine work overtime! And even though we had to work during vacation we had a wonderful time! I cannot recommend it enough!
In all a great stop, with a good nights sleep!
