Pros:

Vicina al fiume

Cons:

Hanno avuto problemi con l’allargamento della struttura e a mio parere avrebbero dovuto avvertirci per permetterci di decidere se soggiornare da loro, in quanto noi nello specifico avevamo con noi una bimba di quasi tre anni che abbiamo dovuto portarci in braccio per quattro piani, senza ascensore, perché non funzionava causa allagamento. É stato difficile e disagiante.
ALMENO CAMBIARCI LA STANZA AD UN PIANO PIÙ BASSO per aiutarci…

Great hotel in central location
Pros:

It was very modern, fairly spacious, and in a central location.

Cons:

Since it was right by the water and a busy plaza, it could be very loud at night with people and seagulls. I can’t fault them for the seagulls but it is definitely something to prep for:
