We loved the fact that it was away from the city. It's quiet and clean, and it has easy access to our room from the parking lot.

Cons:

Im not sure there was anything we didn't like.

Pas terrible et trop cher.
Pros:

Un petit-déjeuner, pas énormément de choix, mais ça fait plaisir de ne pas devoir quitter l'hôtel le ventre vide. C'était propre et les lits étaient confortables

Cons:

Très très vieillot. Très très mal insonorisé. Nous avions 2 chambres dans le bâtiment annexe. La chambre au rez de chaussée juste devant la machine à glaçons et le distributeur. Elles faisaient beaucoup de bruit et les gens qui s'y servent parlent fort.
Les fenêtres sont opaques car vieilles. Le tissu des accoudoirs des fauteuils dans la chambre étaient déchirés.
Trop cher pour cet hôtel. Je ne recommande pas.

Pros:

המקום היה מאד נוח על הדרך בכביש 1. סיפק לנו מה שהיינו צריכים ללילה קצר בלבד. ארוחת הבוקר היתה צנועה אבל לא היה צריך יותר.
