Hotel looks like new. Spacious room. Have microwave, refrigerator, very convenient. Lot of parking. I didn’t like that that rooms are cleaned only once a week. I asked for towels and bed sheets and i changed myself. Breakfast didn’t have egg or sausages but overall experience was good . Staff in the front desk very pleasant and helpful.
