Great location. Parking and rooms need improvement
Pros:

The hotel is in a great location. Staff are friendly.

Cons:

We stayed with our 10 month old son. He opened the bedside table and found some prescription medication from a previous guest. Thankfully we noticed immediately and he didn’t open them. But it could have caused him harm. The bathroom door and bathtub are in poor condition and need a good paint at least. There is no parking at the property. They do not have any agreement with the nearest car park so it ended up costing an additional €35 for a two night stay.
