The room is not excellent, but it is neat and clean. In an emergency, we could stay for one night, but with a family it’s very difficult—especially in winter, in the parking area.

The beds were clean, the room was warm when we got there. The floor had stuff on it (I'm assuming tracked in by the cleaning staff) but I was wearing slippers so it was fine.
