Convenient and Comfortable Stay

my standard room had a good size and it was clean. the bed provided great comfort. the location was close to the motorway, very convenient for my journey. i found the large car park useful as well (no need to search for parking!).
i noticed the air conditioning unit had some dust, which circulated a bit while i was trying to sleep.
