The hotel seemed very nice, though had an unpleasant surprise on the last evening when we found some little bugs on the bed, they turned out to be bed bugs and i was fully feasted on for the 2 evenings. A week later and im still itchy, we did report and supplied a dead bug when we checked out. Hopefully they can resolve as its a nice modern hotel with loads of parking.

Just great hotel: excellent price quality rating. Good beds, basic but good bathroom. Parking place you need to pay a fee. Swimming pool you also re charged extra. Location is great at one of the main roads around the city, shopping center nearly. Location is also quiet (even with the road nearby).

Great value

Perfect hotel for the price, friendly staff at reception. Hotel does not have a pool however, which I find interesting since pictures are included in the Hotels.com page and facilities also mention a pool (and I double checked the hotel info in the app after asking reception for it).
