I stayed here for two nights and i was very grateful for the parking available on site. It made exploring the area much easier. the location was excellent, as it was a short walk to the city centre. my room was super clean, i was also very happy about that.
the thermostat inside my room was not working correctly, i found it a little uncomfortably hot. the temperature on the screen indicated 32.5 degrees, it was cooler outside.
