Reviews
Location is perfect. Check in easy in less than 5 min.
Reception staff was very friendly, we requested early breakfast takeaway for the 1st day due to tour planned, it was accommodated without any issues. We collected our breakfast at 730am for 3 persons and it was a big set each.
Breakfast was included and it was great with self making waffles too.
The hotel has microwave and kettle at the common area, available restaurant is at the town, a bit of drive for dinner.
Overall we are happy with the stay.
