modern bathroom free parking cute staff
The room included a modern bathroom with a bath and a separate shower! The free parking was a bonus. Considering the location near the city center it was convenient. The reception staff were very cute.
The lift was quite small. It serves four floors so it can be a bit erratic.

I had some problems . The shower was a real issue. The water pressure was weak. The food service felt disorganized, especially during peak times. Staff seemed overwhelmed, resulting in slow service and errors with orders.
