Es war angenehm, ich hatte alles was ich brauchte und fühlte mich wohl.
Pros:

Die Lage war perfekt für mich, weil ich es liebe Städte zu Fuß erkundigen. Der Pool auf der Dachterrasse war eine Attraktion.

Cons:

Leider war kein Kaffe und Tee im Zimmer vorhanden, obwohl der Wasserkocher da war. In der Reception konnte man kostenlos Kaffee bekommen.
