Location is good. Breakfast and soup great.
Very limited parking on site, if you come late all spaces are taken and park somewhere on streets.
Very limited Wi-Fi. No internet after 7pm - system completely overloaded.
In night time ants come in hundreds. You will find them in morning covering all your food (

Very friendly place but very basic room. Sadly my room smelt of wet dog and the window catch was broken so i had to secure it using a wash bag! Free soup, popcorn and breakfast is a nice touch.
