Pros:

location as I was doing business close by. Room is also very smart

Cons:

No atmosphere anymore either in the bar or at breakfast. I have noticed this since covid. Breakfast itself is only ok. Just does not feel like a treat anymore. Disappointing because i used to love this hotel. It is certainly not 4 star material anymore
