Nice room in an older hotel
Pros:

The room was nice

Cons:

The foyer is well photographed but not very nice in real life. The lift is very old and generally everything was a bit run down

This works fine
Pros:

The location was great and the room clean and comfortable.

Cons:

The parking fee was not included and it is higher than other local options which we used instead. Also breakfast not included so again we used other local options. So the hotel is fine, clean and comfortable and in a good location which served us well but the hotel could be much much more.

Pros:

Amabilidad del personal de housekeeping y valet parking. Habitación limpia y con amenities de baño de muy buena calidad.

Cons:

Oferta de desayuno algo limitada. Habitación sin ningún tipo de vista, en edificio anexo (planta baja con cristales oscurecidos para tener intimidad con respecto a la calle).

Etwas in die Jahre gekommenes Hotel mit geräumigen, sauberen Zimmern, leider überteuert
Pros:

Die Zimmer sind geräumig und sehr sauber, auch das Bad war sehr ordentlich.
Der Rezeption war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit.

Cons:

Der Eingangsbereich war nicht einladend. Während unseres Aufenthaltes wurde dort gebaut. Es gibt keinen separaten Frühstücksbereich. Das spielt sich alles in der Lobby ab und ist sehr ungemütlich. Die einzige Bedienung ist nicht gerade freundlich.
Alles in allem stimmt das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis nicht.

Pros:

Location

Cons:

It was like random route motel vibe. And the staff clearly didn’t like their jobs.

Pros:

Actually, at nice hotel ...

Cons:

... but a bit tired and in a noisy location. Which is why I would say that it is over priced.
