wonderful breakfast and great location

excellent breakfast free parking
The breakfast spread was excellent (especially the yogurt with berries). there were continental options and a cooked breakfast, with plenty to choose from. i appreciated the free parking right outside the door. It made coming and going very easy. the area was quiet, which ensured a restful night.
i noticed the carpet had a stain in the room. the bedroom decor felt a bit outdated.

average stay, issues noted

missing ventilation not enough sockets
the location was acceptable. it was an easy walk to the town centre.
the room was quite small. the bathroom had no window, i found that ventilation was also absent. there were not enough power sockets, and towel racks were also missing. this made it difficult to dry towels properly.
