An enjoyable stay that we will repeat.
Pros:

Close to everything. Buffet breakfast. Own parking. Bar that’s actually open.

Cons:

Was a bit pricey but you got more so I think it was worth it.

Great
Pros:

The hotel itself plus the free EV charger

Cons:

It would have been nice if people will not park on the designated EV charging spot so people with EV vehicle can make use of the charger. We could not find one the first time. And only managed to find one when one of the non- EV car left.
