Pros:

Great stay and comfortable bed. The front desk was very friendly and helpful. A short 10 minute walk to CBD.

Cons:

Very loud cleaners early in the morning banging carts and shouting in the hallways. Also, the rooms could benefit from a deep clean (floors in particular).

Pros:

Das Hotel hatte ein sehr gutes Restaurant. Das Essen war sehr gut.

Cons:

Die Betten waren sehr schmal.
Weiterhin hatten wir uns gefreut, dass das Zimmer einen Kühlschrank hatte. Leider sind wir zu spät dahinter gekommen, dass der gar nicht angeschlossen war. Man musste den Kühlschrank komplett aus den Schrank schieben, damit man ihn einschalten konnte.

Pros:

We enjoyed happy hour cocktails.

Cons:

The buffet breakfast was poor, if you didnt like pork sausage, bacon or scrambled egg, you could have cut fruit that had been out all morning or a choice of 2 cerals. Not worth the extra money at all.
