Pros:

Foi uma experiência razoável...
Para hotel 4 estrelas deixa um pouco a desejar as instalações...
Muito barulho do exterior
As casas de banho deveriam sofrer umas alterações
A piscina exterior não dá para crianças que não sabem nadar... porque é muito funda
Da parte do pequeno almoço foi bom, tem muita variedade
Maneira geral correu bem a nossa estadia

Uma longa caminhada para chegar no quarto
Pros:

Se você gosta de caminhar, solicite o quarto 210, assim você já terá feito seu treinamento ao ir tomar o café da manhã e retornar ao quarto.

Estadia agradável
Pros:

A estadia correu muito bem. Quarto limpo e organizado. Pequeno Almoço basto e com várias opções. A piscina, ambiente da piscina e acesso à mesma deve ser melhorado, porque estava muito frio.

Pros:

A run down version of its grander former self, with indifferent staff. The front desk is the opposite of welcoming. Our compact room was okay, but the bathtub shower curtain was a mildew haven -- needs the bleach treatment.

Lot's of available easy on-site parking, if one can figure out how to get through the up/down gates on entry and exit.

Breakfasts were amazingly great, but no dinner menus were available so we found our evening meals elsewhere. The room service offerings were poor.

Be careful not to trip on the tired/wrinkled carpets in the hallways.

Great central location -- as good as it could possibly be. Might stay again despite the defects purely because of the location at the city centre.

Pros:

Cet hôtel n’est plus un hôtel 4 étoiles…. Il est vieillissant et mal entretenu.
Le mobilier est abîmé, et mal réparé ça ne fait pas sérieux. Le parking est souvent complet, difficile de savoir si on aura une place de disponible = obligation de se garer dans la rue et de payer …
Dommage car il est hyper bien placé. Beaucoup trop cher pour ce que c’est.
