Very good stay, value for money.
Pros:

Room is clean.

5 star customer service experience
Pros:

This was a 1 night overnight stay for a business trip. The hotel was affordable, clean, nothing fancy. What stood out for me was the level of customer service and friendliness from the front desk staff. I travel quite a bit and most places I encounter leave me baffled at the level of customer service in todays world... usually it is awful unfortunately. Not at this place - they went above and beyond at every level. The first night they gave me great restaurant recommendations, greeted me with a smile and enthusiasm to be of service. My check out was even better he was 5 star worthy - engaging, patient, warm welcome, made it super easy - we even had a great 15 minute conversation about customer service!

Pros:

酒店客房非常干净,因为入住时间不需要空调,空调是否有噪音不清楚。早餐是普通的欧陆早餐,以此衡量还是不错的,服务员也很热情。

Cons:

酒店有一侧的客房是在路边,不知道是否吵闹,建议预定的时候和酒店沟通好要安静靠内侧的房间

The place was clean and aside from a disappointing breakfast was a positive experience.
Pros:

The temperature of the pool was wonderful and the courtyard garden/pond is beautiful.

Cons:

The breakfast was not very good. The eggs were overly salty and flavorless and there was not a great selection of food. The fridge in our room ran a bit loud at night, but it worked well.
