Comfortable Stay

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay in a room that came equipped with fantastic blackout curtains, ensuring a perfect night’s sleep without disturbances and a comfortable temperature, thanks to the fan provided. It was a great retreat after a long day.

The hotel is conveniently located adjacent to the motorway, making it ideal for a stopover. The rooms had a slight odor issue, but the service was impressive with friendly staff. The dining experience was mediocre, and there are nearby restaurants for variety. Overall, it's a decent choice for a break during a journey.
