helpful staff local restaurant larger room small pool swimming lesson

The staff were very helpful and gave great tips on local restaurants (i like to try new places!). Our room was larger than others, a bonus. Fans were available, which helped with the temperature.

The pool was small. Swimming lessons were happening, so there was little room for a proper swim. The room was quite hot despite the radiators being off.

Acceptable Stay with Noticeable Issues

dirty staircase excessive heat

The main staircase was quite dirty. That REALLY wasn't inviting. Our room became excessively hot, uncomfortable. Paying MORE for breakfast felt unfair, especially after a cheaper, better hotel.

The parking fee felt REALLY unnecessary. I also found the breakfast pretty basic, nothing special to speak of. I expected more variety or higher quality ingredients for the price I paid. It was okay, but definitely not a highlight of my stay.
