convenient and high-quality stay

motorway accesspolite ladygood breakfastrude night staff
The hotel was easy to get to directly from the motorway. breakfast was great, with a good selection of items. the lady at reception was helpful when i checked in. She was polite and efficient. a fridge was also available in the room. This helped keep drinks and snacks cold.
The night staff seemed rude. They ignored me when i waited to check in. i can understand that they were busy, but they did not acknowledge me. this gave me a negative first impression. a simple greeting would have sufficed.
