Parking & Soundproofing
Hotel states parking, but apparently only if you book it! Soundproofing is poor.

Great room, get rid of disposables in the café
The room was spacious and well proportioned, perfect for our one night stay. It would have been perfect had the extra bed been prepared or at least bedding provided, we noticed this very late and had to get dressed to get it.
The staff was very friendly and helpful.
Our only niggle was the breakfast. While the café looked appealing and suggested a specific vibe, being served coffee and food in disposable cups shouldn't be a thing anymore nowadays, especially from a sustainability point of view. Had we known, we would have had breakfast elsewhere.
