The staff was ultra polite and caring. He even made sure we have lactose free milk for breakfast on our second morning after we told him that my husband is lactose-intolerant. The rooms were clean. There were spaces for free parking right in front of the property. The bus stop for the double decked busses 3 and 29 taking us to the center is super close and the bus ride is through some nice districts. I recommend.👍
