Tämä oli suosikkihotellini- ei enää
Pros:

Huone oli hyvän kokoinen ja hotellin sijainti on hyvä.

Cons:

Henkilökunta oli epäystävällinen ja poissaoleva ( mm sisään buukatessamme vastaanotto puhui vain omaa pitkää puhelua) Huonettamme ei siivottu. Verhot olivat rikki. Puhelin receptioniin oli rikki.

Sind Pappbecher und Kaffee aus der Thermoskanne US-Standard?
Pros:

Zimmer ist hübsch ausgestattet. Tresor funktioniert. Genug Stauraum!

Cons:

Die Dusche ist unterirdisch: Völlig verkalkt und unbeweglich aus der Wand. Warmes Wasser kommt dann nach einiger Zeit, aber mit ohrenbetäubendem Dröhnen. Beim Handtuchhalter kriegt man Angst, dass er endgültig abkracht...
