Spent a night, from the moment we arrived the reception treated us with a welcoming smile. Very quick check in and was given clear instructions on how to get in and out of the hotel. Once we walked inside our room we felt at home, very clean and all essentials provided (tea, coffee,milk, bathroom essentials). Will definitely go back.
