It’s a no frills hotel. The hotel was cold from the entrance and lobby with the bar. The rooms were clean but also cold. The restaurant is in another room so a slight bit warmer. Staff were super friendly and happy to help.

We didn’t have breakfast as it was only one night stay, and we had to leave very early for the airport. We did have dinner the night before, and it was very good and highly recommend the burger.
