Very good value, lovely breakfast included. Room small but clean and well maintained. All staff very helpful, polite and responsive all the time. Easy walk to shops if you need anything, lots of places to eat near by if you want options. Enjoyed the swim in the large pool, using sauna etc and the gym, all included. Perfect for a stopover.

Disappointed

It didnt feel like a hotel, more of a leisure club with rooms. Large carpark but very few available spaces with so many people going into the gym. Pool area was very busy so didnt get to try.
