Pros:

Modern, clean and calm vibes. The room was really nice amd spacious. Friendly staff.

Cons:

Breakfast was not what I expected, and I would have wished for info about it forehand before booking. In stead of any small buffet, there were theee sandwiches to choose from (the same every day). Healthy, big breakfast with potato soup and veggies but our picky kids would not eat any of it.
