Travelers particularly appreciate the friendliness of the staff and the level of cleanliness of the property. The presence of the kitchenette in the rooms and the reserved free parking are very much appreciated. The location score is slightly affected by being outside the historic centre, which is amply compensated for by the overall quietness.
