Improvements can be made
Pros:

Breakfast was decent. Room is fine. Enough space and storage. Comfortable large bed.

Cons:

The bathrooms are shocking. Need to be totally renovated. Housekeeping could be more efficient, our room was not cleaned by the time we arrived back at 3pm.

Wer gut schlafen will, der braucht Ohrenstöpsel.
Pros:

Das Personal war ausserordentlich freundlich.
Rezeption, Lift, Gänge und WC war alles aufgeräumt und sauber.

Cons:

Die Fenster sind schlecht isoliert und so hört man den Strassenverkehr, Radios, Gespräche usw.
Es war einfach zu laut!
