Niet meer dan een doorreis locatie
Pros:

Alles is prima maar niet spectaculair. Gedateerd hotel. Kleine kamers, maar alles is wel aanwezig en werkt. Prima bedden. zwembad en gym. Goed avond restaurant in het hotel.

Cons:

Door het beton, plavuizen en later toegevoegde machine's zoals airconditioning, waterpompen, afvoer, etc.....super gehorig met altijd geluid van alle kanten, wat een herrie de gehele nacht.

Mooi oud hotel
Pros:

Mooi oud groot hotel midden in de stad. Heerlijk groot zwembad. Goed ontbijt. Gratis luchthaven transfer.

Cons:

Beetje vergane glorie. Kuilen in bed. Lift lang buiten werking wegens schoonmaak; dus zelf koffers trap op sjouwen. Irritant lang kettingzaag bij werk aan boom bij zwembad.

Pros:

The "valet parking" the staff were nice, the receptionist was nice and the cleaning ladies were nice. The room size good and the supervisor was always willing to help us at every request we had

Cons:

The restaurant was terrible, the staff at the restaurant were, especially the supervisor which was very rude, the food was bad and we had to return the food twice, luckily, they didn't charge us for the dishes but if we didn't complain I'm sure we would been fed bad food
