Pros:

Das Zimmer war sehr modern und die Küche gut ausgestattet. Auch war die Lage zentral und wir konnten für 22 $ / Tag im Parkhaus parken.

Cons:

Die Klimaanlage war sehr laut und direkt neben dem Bett. Im Bad gab es wenig Ablagefläche.

I felt so at home, it was almost hard to believe I was in a hotel!
Pros:

The suite far exceeded our expectations. The decor and comfort were excellent. The kitchen was well appointed and stocked, and surprise: there’s a dishwasher. We stayed only one night and we shall definitely return. So many extras and quality and price could not have been better. Recommending this hotel will be a pleasure. Thank you.

Cons:

Nothing to report

Pros:

-

Cons:

Kreditkarte wurde viel zu früh und nicht korrekt belastet. Das Appartment war für 3 Personen gebucht - leider aber nicht hergerichtet. Das Personal war unfreundlich und meinte, das wäre Teil des Konzepts.
Wasserkocher war defekt. Man versucht dann alles in der Verwaltung einfach über eine App abzuwickeln, die aber nicht funktioniert!!
Über Booking hatte ich geschrieben und mir wurde versichert es wird geprüft. Nach Abreise hatte sich immer noch nichts geändert und keine Rückmeldung mehr!

Nach dem Check-Out Zeitpunkt wollten wir in die Tiefgarage, um zu unserem Auto zu kommen. Der Parkplatz war für 24h gezahlt. Der Zutrittscode funktionierte nicht mehr und man gewährte uns nur widerwillig und unfreundlich Zutritt!
Leider in Summe nicht empfehlenswert.
