Fantastic Stay!

smooth check-incute atmosphereextra charge
The check-in process was smooth. Everything was explained clearly! The meeting area created a cute atmosphere, with friendly people everywhere. I found my rest easy, and the calm was fantastic. I really enjoyed it!
The price felt slightly high, mainly due to the extra charge for parking. There was no alternative at the services. Paying extra to park in the car park seemed unnecessary.
