the location was convenient, near the town center and train station. a supermarket was very close, as were many restaurants. my room was on the ground floor, surprisingly large and very clean. the pub on-site had good beer, which i enjoyed one evening.
the main road was a bit noisy from my room (but it didn't bother me too much).
