The coldest hotel room I’ve ever entered. Yes the heating kicked in within 5-10 minutes but you also don’t expect to experience that when you arrive It was okay because we could go to the bar for 30 minutes but it would have been an issue had I got there late and needed to go straight to bed. Staff were helpful and brought an additional heater and the hotel is clean and quiet.

Fabulous stay few minutes from EMA

The man on reception was very friendly and welcoming. Our room was clean and roomy. The shower in the bathroom was really nice, a nice strength and heat. Had a hot breakfast which was excellent, well cooked, good choice and a very nice pancake maker too. Would definitely stay again, was impressed with everything. Plus the car parking was at a reduced rate when staying at the hotel.

Disliked: Cleanliness
I didn't realize that I accidentally booked an "accessible" room... which would have been ok, but I noticed blood splatter in the shower. It looked like someone had fell and had a nasty cut. I called the front desk and the lady said it was cleaning solution, but I've never seen cleaning solution the color of blood. She offered to change the room to another accessible room downstairs but it was already late and I had an early flight. Nevertheless, it just gave me an uneasy feeling and I didn't sleep too well that night.
