Wow! I was pleasantly surprised by the fancy rooms equipped with heat pumps at the end of winter. Everything I needed was well laid out, and it was a great value for the price paid. The service was top-notch with staff checking in on us and being extremely accommodating. The location was accidental but turned out to be really great, offering a clean and tidy room. The facilities were also excellent.

My stay at this hotel was pretty good. The rooms were clean and very well appointed, making it a comfortable experience overall. However, the downside was that there wasn't a designated car park for our car by our unit, and the dispenser in the kitchen was empty.
