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.

Nice rooms. Hotel was old, and facilities mostly same, pool looked nice though we did not use it. Hotel did not inform us about renovations. Hammering started 7 a clock, on top of that the motorway outside was constantly audible. According to staff, there was literally not a room we're you could not hear it constantly.
