Good hotel for a quick stop
Pros:

Good hotel, spacious room, good breakfast, nice staff

Cons:

I didn’t liked that the thermostat was blocked and you couldn’t set it more than 4, which for me I found it too cold and not so comfortable.

Not terrible, but pretty bad value
Cons:

no way to keep the midges out when the window is open, and they had no ventilation so the air was reeeeally stale…
