Clean, quiet, and comfortable
They’re under renovation but our room was fine. It wasn’t finished but it was for one night and it was clean & comfortable. Good for the price with free parking.

They are renovating, so patients is needed. The room that was available was brand new and very well done. One of the major outlets next to the bed was installed upside down, so none of the USB ports, nor plugs, nor built-in sidelight worked at all.
Obviously there was not an inspector after the electrician went through, but sparkling clean room.

Not worth it.
Heating was not working and I had to wait for nearly half the day as owner was out and was the only one who knew how to fix it. Was staying in a very cold room till then.

Worth the price.
The rooms are quite large and well equiped (Including a fridge and a microwave). As they we're refurbishing the hotel, there was a bit of noise and dust, and a few hours during the afternoon there was no water. Not great, but understandable (and should not happen once the refurbishing is done). The lobby was a bit of a makeshift and check-in took a longer than normal. Staff is friendly and the setting of the hotel is quite nice at the riverbank and next to a park. Shuttle service to the airport was on time at 4am!
