parking spotregular schedules
I appreciated the parking spot at the back of the hotel. It made arrival simple. The bus stop outside provided easy transportation to the city center. Regular schedules were such a bonus. Our room offered coffee tea and hot chocolate along with water. The body wash had a good scent. I found an informative folder with tips about places to visit in the room.
The front door was a bit difficult to open.

The rooms included everything I needed. Breakfast offered plenty of choice. The location benefited from public transport right outside the front door. The owner Jack was very cute. He served us tea and coffee throughout breakfast.
The room was not serviced . I had to request dry towels. I also had to ask for toilet rolls. The waste bin was overflowing.
