Erfüllt seinen Zweck und hat Wohlfühlfaktor
Pros:

Lage ist gut, wenn man zum Flughafen möchte. Fußläufig gibt es einen sehr schönen Park (siehe Fotos) und der Pub im Hotel war sehr groß, gut besucht und das Essen war sehr gut. Insgesamt sehr nette Atmosphäre. Das Zimmer war klein aber sauber, Bett in Ordnung, Bad neu. Einziges Manko: es gab kein Fenster bzw. das Fenster ging zum Flur und man konnte es nicht öffnen 🫣
Allerdings hätte man sowieso nicht mit offenem Fenster schlafen können, da die zweispurigen Straßen rundherum doch sehr laut waren und man auch die Flieger gehört hat. Aber es war irgendwie beklemmend und etwas stickig, da ich nicht mit Klimaanlage schlafen kann. Vom Pub habe ich überhaupt nichts mitbekommen. Das Haus ist auch schon in die Jahre gekommen, aber insgesamt war ich für den Preis absolut zufrieden.

Cons:

Kein Fenster im Zimmer

Pros:

Bed was high and soft, generous space in the room. We didn't hear any sounds from other guests or traffic below.the smokers verandah was a bonus.

Cons:

I couldn't fault it. All expectations were exceeded.

Courtesy signage
Pros:

Cleanliness exceptional. Quality staff

Cons:

Room a little noisy due to late night guest traffic on either side. Perhaps a sign to remind guests to consider others on their way to their rooms would help

Pros:

Location.

Cons:

There was no one at the counter to check me in. I waited there for 10 minutes. I was so tired at that time after two long flights. Some Asian girl, who works in the gaming section, checked me in. The person who was supposed to be at the counter never showed up despite calling him several times.
