The breakfast was a real disappointment. The food options were very limited, and the same every day. there was often no one refilling items, so if I arrived 30 minutes before the end, food was gone. The rooms also were very noisy.

The room was well kept and spotlessly clean. Everything in the room was in perfect condition. This. I especially appreciated the ample car parking because I did not need to worry about parking space. I also found two hypermarkets at the backside of the hotel.
I noticed the breakfast options were limited. More variety in the breakfast menu would improve the experience. The canteen staff could be more polite and professional.
