Good location, on-site eateries & friendly staff

Friendly and welcoming staff at the front desk who gave us an unexpected upgrade (which was truly appreciated after 4 very long days on the road). There’s a restaurant and a tavern on-site, which again made our overnight stay relaxing. We opted for the tavern and the food arrived quickly, was reasonably priced and tasted great.
