Gute Lage
Pros:

Gute Lage, um noch abends (wir waren nur für 1 Nacht da) zur Bay zu kommen und was zu essen. Wir hatten das Zimmer nach hinten, was angenehm ruhig war. Betten und Kissen bequem.

Cons:

Pflegeprodukte waren etwas dürftig.

Had a wonderful experience, very clean and comfortable. Location is perfect!
Pros:

It was located so conveniently near the main strip for eating and shopping. All within Walking distance

Cons:

There choices for breakfast selections were very limited and comparable to gas station market items. They should consider partnering with the bakery coffee shop across from them.
