Good value for money
Pros:

The room was nice and clean. The bathroom was spacious. The bed and pillows were extremely comfortable. The hotel doesn't have a parking place, but it offers a discount in a public park nearby

Cons:

The breakfast was nice, but it lacked some essentials like cheese. Even though the park was independent to the hotel, when I asked about it, no one told me about a direct passage from the park to the hotel, which would have been nice to know about, since I had to go around the street with my luggage.
