Pros:

Das Frühstück war absolut basic, zwei Spiegeleier und verbrannte Kartoffeln, abgestandener Kaffee, liebloser schmutziger Frühstücksraum. Langsamer Service. Mein Zimmer wurde in den fünf Tagen kein einziges Mal gesäubert. Direkt vor meinem Fenster verlief eine stark befahrene Straße, die durch die geschlossenen Fenster zu hören war.

Cons:

Die Lage ist, bis auf die stark befahrene Straße direkt vor dem Hotel, gut. Das Gym ist gut ausgestattet.

Pros:

Inside of the building is nice overall, bedrooms were nice and clean, liked the view we had by the window, liked the fact that we were able to use streaming services on the TV, bathrooms were great, stores around we walking distance, overall for the price for the stay wasn't bad.

Cons:

Things I personally didn't like were the fact that you had to pay for parking which is un-ordinary for me considering travels I've had in the past, never had to worry about that, had to pay additional fees at the desk when arriving. Our room was nice but the door to gain access to the closet was broken so we weren't able to use that during the moment but didn't mind since we weren't going to use but just the fact that the room had its problems during our stay, there were nails sticking out of furniture as well but were out of arms reach.
