I stay was for business which had me arrive very late at night and depart early morning. The hotel reception did call me to clarify that I would be staying as they grew concerned at the time of evening before my arrival which I appreciated. The reception were very friendly and welcoming upon arrival. Car Parking facilities were free and adjoining the hotel which allowed. me to leave my car and arrive safely at the reception desk without walking outdoors. Although I hadn’t the time for breakfast in the morning, the smell from the restaurant Was tempting.
