Corporate greed, incarnate, that cares more about how to swindle extra money from their patrons, than they do integrity!
Pros:

I don’t know, because I didn’t have an available balance in my CC, for taxes/fees of20/day to pay for the complimentary drink voucher and other amenities (not disclosed till after the reservation was made)… I wasn’t allowed to check in! However, because I then did not cancel in time, our party for the insurance, they also still charged me for the reservation, that THEY wouldn’t allow me to check in for!

Cons:

Pros:

Basen, wielkość pokoju, łazienka, możliwość zostawienia bagażu.

Cons:

Brakło płynu do mycia ciała.
Przydało by się pomieszczenie przy basenie aby się przepłukać i przebrać.

Excellent emplacement dans le centre de la ville
Pros:

Près de tout à une quinzaine de minutes à pied. Vue magnifique sur l'hôtel de ville. Métro à quelques pas de l'hôtel. La piscine et les commodités de l'hôtel. C'est notre 3e fois dans cet hôtel et aucun regret à chaque fois.

Cons:

Les gens qui font du OF à la piscine de l'hôtel avec leur trépied, surtout qu'il y a des enfants et des familles qui veulent relaxer.
