Dennoch ein schöner Aufenthalt
Pros:

Betten sind bequem und groß, gibt Parkplätze . Schöne Zimmer mit Zwischentür für mehr Ruhe

Cons:

-Klimaanlage tropfte ,
-Lampe war bei unserer Etage (4.) auf dem Flur eingeschlagen und zerrissen,
-Aufzüge sind verwirrend - man sollte bei dem Labyrinth zumindest an der Rezeption Info bekommen, welche Aufzüge wohin führen.
-am Tag 2 etc wurde das Zimmer nicht mehr gut gestaubsaugt.
