spacious roomclean bathroomwelcome drinkcreaky floorboard

the room was spacious. the shared bathroom and toilet were very clean, so i had no discomfort using them. the staff offered a welcome drink upon my arrival. i found this to be a kind gesture after my travels.

I noticed that the floorboards creaked quite a bit. Every step i took seemed to cause some noise. this became a little bothersome, especially late at night and early in the morning. soundproofing could enhance future stays.

The staff gave me a welcome drink upon check in. The beds and pillows were comfy. I had a great sleep. I appreciated the blackout shutters in the bedroom.

Parking is impossible! I searched for over an hour. Everywhere is a blue zone where you have to move your parking disc every hour. I won't recommend this hotel due to this parking horror.
