Another handy stopover during long road trips
Pros:

Hotel was comfortable enough and is used for conferences as too. If you wan to use the pool, you have to walk through the conference meeting room!
We used the place a quick overnighter. Breakfasts was not as slick as the other 13 places we stayed on this trip. I had to ask for a cereal bowl, milk and a spoon. Cooked breakfast, to order, eventually came. Maybe out of season and conference delegates messed up the usual flow?

Value for money.

Cons:

Room was cold, mainly the tiled floor and no bedside mats, especially since it's approaching winter.

Stopover
Pros:

The room was spacious and comfortable and the bathroom was tidy. Good towels.

Cons:

I would've liked a little bar of soap for hand washing, although there was some nice liquid soap for the shower and some hand cream. I would've liked some fresh milk for the tea.
The display of the room temperature on the aircon was a bother during the night. Don't know how to bypass that.

comfortable room and friendly staff
Pros:

The bed was comfortable and breakfast was delicious. Situated in the middle of a small town its position was perfect for a good start to the onward journey. There is the train museum across the way

Cons:

The headboard needs attention.
The room is on the road and security may need further attention
The security gate can be easily opened by anyone and was opened by a little beggar boy .
The TV is tiny and far away from the bed.
