I would use this hotel again when or if we return in the future
Pros:

Room layout was very nice, having a sitting area and bedroom. Since it wasn't completely full my mother was able to check in early and have a room nearby ours. Windows could open for fresh air, and the AC we could adjust to our wishes.

Cons:

The breakfast was OK and I don't really hope for more. The options in North America though pale in comparison to Europe. Having a full mini kitchen was very nice, although someone before had cooked fish in our room and we tried to get the smell out, without much success. It wasn't a deal breaker however.
