安価で立地が良かったかと。
Pros:

夕食、朝食は込みこみでお得感がありました。レストランではアルコ－ルの自販機で安上がりでした。大浴場もとても
よかった

Cons:

バストイレが狭いのが難点、特にトイレの出入りのドアが何とかならないかと思った。建物自体はかなり古いかなと、非常時の避難経路はかなり迷うと思った。各階廊下にもっと大きく明確な避難通路の明示があればいいかなと思った。

No bicycles permitted
Pros:

The price for a room with dinner and breakfast sounded great.

Cons:

When j checked in i asked if there is a safe space for my bicycle, but the girl said no, not inside the hotel and i was not allowed to park my bicycle in the underground garage. When I asked where to leave my bike, she plainly said this is not a bicycle hotel, i could leave it on the street. This is the first time in my travelling years, that there is a garage, but bicycles are not permitted. She gave me my money back and I left.
