Basic but exactly what you need - decent bed, good shower, solid breakfast. Parking is not clear but if you enter the shopping centre carpark (next door) the staff at reception can validate your ticket for you.

Wonderful stay
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The receptionist was incredibly helpful and friendly, going above and beyond to make my visit comfortable. They even offered me a free late check-out, which was such a thoughtful gesture. The service was top-notch, and I truly appreciated the warm and accommodating attitude of the staff. Highly recommend staying here!
