“Comfortable and conveniently located and well equipped room.”
I received a friendly and helpful welcome. The room was warm and comfortable. When the TV remote didn't work, the Manager on duty was quick to come and replace. I also liked the kitchen facilities, so I could prepare a simple dinner and breakfast in the room. (it was wet and rainy outside)
