Solid stay near the city

room size breakfast variety
The room size exceeded my expectations. It was bigger than average. Breakfast was another highlight, presenting a good variety of options. I found both the room's spaciousness and the breakfast selection particularly satisfying.
I noticed there was no traditional front desk upon entering the hotel. The area looked like a random desk, so I felt a little awkward approaching the staff.

The staff were friendly and helpful , answering questions and giving directions with a smile, which I found reassuring and efficient. The service was excellent.
