Good stay in convenient location

We had a good stay, the pool area was a bonus and the staff were great. The meals were good quality and breakfast plentiful. The beds were very soft and didn't suit us and rooms a little dated and tired. Overall a nice pleasant stay in the right location for a stop before continuing our journey.

Not a great hotel stay

I was there for three nights on business Booked a double room with balcony Room very tired, run down and needed a proper clean There were no draws anywhere in the room to put your clothes just a few hangers! Which being away for three nights is rather annoying you can’t put your clothes away properly. They don’t clean your room unless you ask, which is unusual most hotels I have stayed in you opt out rather than opt in for room cleaning each day. Hotel spa, steam room out of order- Very small facility for size of hotel The breakfast was good Location is good for parking

Close to the highway. Not the cleanest air to breathe. A definite no for people with allergies. Old wall to wall rugs. Breakfast buffet was pretty bad soggy watery omelet. Watery juice from the dispenser. Bad value for money.

Ett hotell som är värt att boka

Gillar man mjuka sängar och kuddar så är detta perfekt. Hotellet ligger perfekt vid motorvägen, dock så hör man inte motorvägen. Nära in till centrum. Utmärkt frukost. Det finns säkert en massa saker är utmärkt på hotellet. Exempelvis poolområdet, restaurangen men detta hann vi inte med att prova.

Bra hotell!

Et greit hotell ikke så veldig langt fra sentrum! Fikk gode priser gjennom Hotels.com Gammelt så er ikke noe god temperaturstyring men det var vifte på rommet. Sto at det var Spa på hotellet men et boblebad og badstue syns jeg ikke er nok til å kalle det et Spa! Alt i alt et bra hotell med god frokost, godt øl, kaldt basseng og gode senger! Ligger ved hovedvei så kan være litt støy fra lastebiler.
