friendly staffcomfortable bedsmall roombroken air conditioning
The check-in process went smoothly , and the staff were very friendly. I stored my luggage on the day of checkout. The beds were very comfortable.
The room I was in was quite small and lacked moving space. There was no balcony , just a window that opened. The air conditioning in the room did not work , and no one came to check it , even after multiple complaints.

the room was very clean. the breakfast was really good. it was convenient for trams to take you to the station and other places.
The parking area was limited and chaotic. half of the parking spaces were occupied with maintenance staff and trucks. the parking should be assigned before you parked. i had to run to reception while my husband waited in the car.
