Pros:

Lage ist ok. Parkplatz für 27 Euro pro Tag aber auch übertrieben

Cons:

Versteckte Kosten
Sehr heruntergekommenes Bad mit aufgequollenen Türrahmen und zerschlissenen Sessel. Irgendwie nicht was nach Superior Zimmer aussehen könnte.

Cons:

The food looked well prepared, but the ingredients tasted very artificial, and the overall flavor was very unpleasant. Unfortunately, it was some of the worst-tasting food I have experienced in a hotel.
