Nie wieder
Pros:

Die Nähe zum Bahnhof.

Cons:

Die Katzen im Hotel, die alles markiert haben. Ich musste meine Schuhe wegwerfen, weil der Gestank selbst nach mehrfachem waschen mit Chlor nicht raus ging. Es war laut und dreckig. Überall liegt Teppichboden, der extrem stinkt. Bettwäsche war dreckig.
