The location is decent—quite close to the city centre, and parking is convenient. The interior is fairly average, and the overall value for money is just so-so.

The room is good. Two comfortable beds and a reasonable bathroom. Reception was friendly but hands off. Introduce yourself and you’re given a key, that’s it. Good breakfast places nearby
