Pros:

The service was great, everyone was kind and helpful.
The lobby was clean as were the rooms and bathrooms.
Private parking for one night was a bit too high I believe.

Cons:

The shower was clogged, the water wouldn't leave at all, it was impossible to take a shower, and the employee also spoke poor German, and was very nervous when I asked her questions.
