Comfortable and surprisingly good food.
Pros:

Dinner and breakfast were good.
room was nicely furnished but very hot

Cons:

The room was too hot and impossible to get cool with weak air conditioner unit.
I was also a bit surprised to find the rooms were mostly set out like a motel with bedroom doors opening onto the outside above a no
isy courtyard full of drinkers.

Geräumige Ferienwohnung für einen mehrtägigen Aufenthalt mit der Familie.
Pros:

Die Wohnung ist sehr gross. Für vier Personen gibt es genug Platz. Der Check-In war problemlos und ging sehr schnell.

Cons:

Der Zugang durch den Restaurantbereich ist gewöhnungsbedürftig. Da die Zimmer auf die Strasse ausgerichtet sind, war es abends etwas laut.
