Okay place over all
Pros:

The breakfast was one of the best ever had and the cleaners were great and friendly and the staff were good too. The clearly have customers seeing every day about paying for parking so it's clearly an issue that needs to resolving.

Paying for parking not advertised very clear. $25 a night makes a big difference in price could have stayed somewhere else for the same

Gute, mit einem aber.
Pros:

Lage sehr zentral. Gute Einrichtung mit Waschmaschine/Trockner. Parkplatz. Sehr freundlich.

Cons:

Leider Fenster mit einfachem Glas, daher kann man den Aussenlärm gut hören. Lastwagen kehren vor dem Hotel und man hört das Piepsen beim Rückwärtsfahren. Stört vor allem morgens um 5 Uhr...
