“I think that this hotel's decor distinctly evokes the 1970s, a design choice that stands out. The location strikes a practical balance, with the city center accessible and the airport bus conveniently close. For families or those planning longer stays, the availability of on-site parking and self-service laundry nearby are genuine advantages.”

The breakfast was simple and delicious! The hotel is also very close to the heart of the city, great. The bed was the MOST comfortable ever!
