My room was quite clean, with practically everything appearing relatively new. i had a nice view facing the garden. The area was very peaceful! the hotel included a sauna, which proved to be a real treat after hours of driving.

the absence of a mini fridge in the room was a noticeable inconvenience. i had to purchase cold drinks from a nearby gas station since there was no way to keep my snacks or drinks fresh at the hotel.
