The location was good, the price was reasonable, and the staff was responsive.
Pros:

Noisy guests were in the room over us who allowed children to run in their room, making it impossible for us to go to sleep. We called the front desk. They called the noisy room, and within a couple of minutes, the problem was resolved. That meant a LOT!

Acceptable for work ralated stay
Pros:

people are nice and helpfull, the room was clean

Cons:

the accommodation was outdated, the breakfast was bad compared to European standards (like Sheraton or van der Valk which lay in the same price ratio) therefore the price quality ratio was poor too.
