Gut für Stadtbesichtigung ohne Parkplatz-Probleme
Pros:

Wir haben das Hotel gewählt, weil es 100 m von einem Bahnhof entfernt liegt, der direkten Zugang zur Innenstadt und zum städtischen ÖPNV bietet. Es ist vom Flughafen leicht zu erreichen und hat ausreichend Parkplätze. Der Portier war äußerst hilfsbereit und hat für zwei alte Damen mit schwerem Gepäck die vorgesehenen Zimmer in zwei bequemere getauscht. Eines lag im Haupthaus (Aufzug) und war groß und gut ausgestattet. Das Früstück war typisch Nordamerika plus gekochte Eier.

Cons:

Vorgesehen war Bezahlung vor Ort. Die Freundin konnte ihr Zimmer nicht mit Debitkarte bezahlen. Daraufhin wurden von meiner Karte ein Zimmer plus Deposit und so viele andere Beträge ab und wieder aufgebucht, dass mein Kreditkartenanbieter die Karte gesperrt hat. Bei der Abreise fehlte dann noch ein halbes Zimmer. War wohl keine böse Absicht, aber äußerst ärgerlich. Besser vorab über Booking bezahlen.
Ach ja, das zweite, ebenerdige Zimmer hatte samt Bad schon bessere Tage gesehhen.

Great place to land, especially if you're visiting the University. I'd stay here again.
Pros:

The room was clean and comfortable. Bigger than expected and the kitchenette was a nice surprise - I always prefer using metal and ceramic over disposables.

Cons:

Breakfast was disappointing - cold eggs, gummy oatmeal, and there never seemed to be enough coffee.
