Pros:

Das Zimmer war sauber, ruhig und komfortabel. Das Bett war bequem. Wir konnten unser Auto kostenfrei parken und in dem eingegliederten Restaurant ein Frühstück bekommen. Die Bushaltestelle ist nicht weit von dem Hotel entfernt.

Cons:

Das Sofa und der Haartrockner in unserem Zimmer hatten die besten Zeiten hinter sich.

Suited our needs perfectly
Pros:

Good room but would request room at back if we return as we were near main road. Breakfast very good, plenty of choice. Location very good, easy bus ride from just outside hotel into centre (could walk, about 25 minutes). Staff very pleasant and helpful.

Cons:

Having bedroom near the front of hotel - next time would request room at the back.
