“I love the ambience, the staff and the location of the hotel but for the cleaning incident.”
The room is slightly bigger than other hotels' of the same price. Location is excellent. Staff are very helpful. The lightbulb of my bathroom broke on the first night of my week-long stay. After I requested the repair at 5 am, the staff came fixing it in 10 minutes so that I could have my shower before venturing out!

It was extremely dusty/dirty. The floor looked like it was not cleaned since weeks.

Need a place to sleep and clean up (bathe) on a long distance bike trip. This place is part of the Route Inn group but is one step up. Pleasant and helpful staff.
