Great location, loved they. had float bags for the river!
Pros:

Location was central and great, the staff was friendly and helpful. The lounge was really nice and comfortable to spend time in together with our group. Loved the float bags provided at no cost to float the river! It was so hot while we were there, this was a great experience!

Cons:

Air circulation in the bathroom could be improved, there was no ventilation and it stayed wet and warm, and since the weather was quite warm, that was not great.

ウソでしょ？！
Pros:

便利な立地にある

Cons:

とにかくスタッフ酷すぎ。朝食の値段を聞いたら自動でチャージされ、チェックアウト時間など案内なく、部屋にはハエがいた。アイロン台とアイロンがほしいとフロントで伝えたら渡されて自分でエレベーターで運んだ。チェックアウトの数時間前なのに、ノックが聞こえたのでyes？と応えたら掃除の人が突然部屋に入ってきた！思わず閉めた、私は風呂上がりで裸！フロントにチェックアウトで伝えたが普段はそんなのことないのにと謝罪だけ。モーテルといえど、これは許容できないし、キャッシュバックレベルだと思うのは私だけ？

Preis-Leistung okay.
Pros:

Gefallen hat mir Zimmer, Lage und das Ambiente.

Cons:

Nicht gefallen hat mir das Frühstück. Es ist in der Lobby laut, nervös und unhygienisch, ausserdem ist es eine Zumutung, in Kauerstellung an einem kleinen Tischchen das Frühstück einnehmen zu müssen.
