the room was a standard double or twin room (quite adequate for my needs). i noted the location was quite central. breakfast had a good selection of items.
The ventilation in the room seemed poor. It felt stuffy. i found the doors difficult to close. They needed to be slammed. the parking fee was quite high (24 euro per day).

the hotel had smooth check-in. rooms had very comfortable beds and were very clean. the location was fab, and it was right opposite the chocolate factory. staff offered a complimentary upgrade for my mum's birthday and gave two free drinks at the bar.
The breakfast queue was long after 9.00. I wanted a relaxed holiday morning, not an early start for food. this limited dining space was inconvenient.
