Licht und Schatten
Pros:

Die Lage des Hotels war gut. Das Frühstück war - insbesondere für amerikanische Verhältnisse - ziemlich gut und abwechslungsreich.

Cons:

Der Ausblick aus dem Zimmer war furchtbar (siehe Bild), das Zimmer war prinzipiell in Ordnung, wirkte aber aufgrund der Farben und schlechten Beleuchtung nicht sehr einladend.

Horrible do not stay here !! Hidden Fees as well.
Pros:

Nothing!

Cons:

Well, they advertise that they have a bar. Got their Bar closed no bar tender. No ice had to buy ice at the front desk. Way overpriced for what you get. No elevator you have to haul all your belongings up the stairs

Estancia de regular a mala
Pros:

El desayuno 😋

Cons:

Está vez
Nos fue muy mal
Yo reservé una habitación deluxe y me dieron una en el 3 piso
nos dieron una llave y cuando llegamos a la habitación estaba ocupada
Después nos dieron otra llave y al otro día al salir y regresar la llave no abría nuestra habitación
Tener q bajar para que la volvieran a registrar
No limpiaron la habitación
Siempre q hemos ido la limpian
Pero al preguntar me dijeron que los fines de semana ya no las limpian que son políticas nuevas 🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️

Pros:

Located on busy corner, convenient to our fav restaurant. Breakfast was limited but good. The room was quite large

Cons:

There are 2 buildings, one does not have an elevator. I was told that after I had booked. Deluxe rooms are stairs only, I have bad knees so it was a problem. Also, no outdoor spaces. Plus you have to purchase ice to make a drink or fill water bottles

Wouldn’t stay here again
Pros:

Property conveniently located and staff was friendly

Cons:

Room was very dirty and not cleaned, despite being woken up by all the loud cleaning in the rooms around us, some lights didn’t work and ac couldn’t keep up. We decided to cut our stay short and stay at another hotel due to uncleanliness.
