Reviews and Ratings
The hotel provided modern and spotless rooms, although there was a need for some modernization. The welcome was warm, especially appreciated in freezing weather with snow outside. The service was a mix of rudeness at checkout but friendly and helpful encounters. The location was convenient for our travel plans but noisy due to its proximity to a main road. The dining experience was a letdown with poorly cooked food and slow service. The facilities were functional.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The room had a couple of issues with single beds instead of a double, but it was spacious with plenty of options. The service was a mix of not receiving dinner vouchers on time but having really kind and helpful staff. The location was convenient with easy bus access and nearby amenities. The dining experience was a bit cold and lacking vegetarian options. Overall, the facilities were decent, and some improvements could enhance the experience.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were excellent, but some issues like cold breakfast and a view of a van outside were quite disappointing. However, the service was top-class, and the location suited my needs perfectly.
