The room was quite large. it was a standard double room, but it felt bigger than i expected. i also appreciated the car park attached to the hotel. Parking was convenient.
The air conditioning in my room did not seem to work. it was quite warm, an issue i saw mentioned in other reviews as well. also, housekeeping came very late one day. It was after 5pm, so i just asked for fresh towels.
