The breakfast was really good. There was a great selection of hot and cold items. The car park was convenient. It was also quite large.
The room was rather dated. There was no air conditioning, unfortunately. The bathroom sink drained slowly. The shower temperature was hard to regulate. It swung between hot and cold.
