The staff were very helpful both at the front desk and breakfast area. Rooms and facility were clean. TV and some electrical outlets did not work. Room is not made up unless you spend 7 nights. Had to ask for more towels and shampoo. Breakfast quality wasn’t great. Only offer instant coffee with breakfast/ otherwise need to pay for “real” coffee if any kind. Hotel is not in a central location.

This is a nice hotel for the price. Spacious and modern rooms with comfortable bed. Hotel also has convenient amenities like laundry machines. The only slight downside is the street it's on is quite busy and noisy, without much in the way of places to eat etc., but this isn't a big issue if you have a car.
