The front desk provided an iron and board (very helpful). The location allowed a fifteen-minute walk into town with some nice cafes along the way.
The room got a bit warm, even though there was a fan already provided.

the twin room was adequately clean.
the parking situation caused problems as parking before check-in was not allowed. my associate called to inquire, she was told there was not adequate parking. the staff member was quite rude. i found this inflexibility unacceptable.

clean roomample spacepowerful showerbox roomnet curtainsbin view
The room was clean and well laid out. it had ample space for everything. the shower was really powerful. I found it fantastic. they provided three mugs and lots of tea and coffee, good.
i thought i booked a sweet attic room. instead, i got a ground floor box room with net curtains. the curtains hid the view of the bins. i would have paid more for a better hotel if i knew about this room.
