Clean room, helpful staff and good price
Verified review

8/10 Very good

The front staff explained the parking perfectly and were generally very helpful. The room is as cozy (small) as shown in the photos, but for a single night stay, it was fine. The bed is actually longer than expected - a person 6'2" tall can sleep with straight legs. Convenient location around shopping, but also quiet for sleeping.

If you have the opportunity to reserve here … avoid it!!! Old hotel , with not even “real” toilet paper more napkins dispensers. The outlets were under a the desk, almost unreachable, plastic trash can. Feeling to be in a 1 star motel than in a hotel . Avoid it completely.

Verified review

8/10 Very good

Great if you are traveling by car. Very easy access from E39, free parking in front of the hotel. Contactless check-in and out was simple and quick. Friendly staff was available to help. Our room was quite compact, but matched our expectations for a budget hotel nevertheless. One negative aspect was the insufficient number of electrical plugs. We did not have breakfast, but the hotel was offering water and tea/coffee at the lobby for all guests at all times. This was a very nice surprise.

The room was very small which could be a challenge for larger individuals, but otherwise was fantastic!
