Fantastic Stay

The room was quite large. It featured a walk-in shower. Ample parking was available (which simplified our arrival). Breakfast offered good variety. The breakfast value impressed me.

The air conditioning in the restaurant was a little too cold.

The hotel benefits from an easily accessible location near a local nature reserve. Strolling after dinner was very pleasant (especially in the twilight). A bus station is directly in front of the hotel.
