convenient stay

nice neighborhoodconvenient receptionfresh airbuilding noise
i liked that it was in a neighborhood. Access to the reception was convenient for questions. Having windows open for fresh air was very nice.
noise from doors in the building opening and closing was a problem. Voices between rooms are clear even at a low volume. The room is just a wee bit too small.

Good Location and Comfy Beds!

good locationfree parkingcomfy bedsthin wall
Location is good and it has free parking. The walk into the centre takes about 5 minutes, it is exactly what I wanted. I do not need luxury, just a bed for the night and parking. Staff are also great, the room are always fine.
The owner was hard to interact with, I called ahead about a late flight. the room did not get cleaned everyday, despite I asked. They couldn't keep my backpack at reception and the walls are thin.
