the breakfast included a buffet with pastry, coffee, and juices. they offer luggage store, however, there are no codes. I found the bed and pillow to be very comfortable.

a restful stay

clean roomseparate tablecoffee maker
the room was super clean and i found separate trash bins for different types of trash i thought that was considerate i also appreciated that the tap water was tasty the nearby laundromat made it convenient. the breakfast offered plenty of options complete with a separate table for gluten-free and vegan alternatives that i appreciated.
i requested a coffee maker i found my request was accepted but there wasn't one when i arrived this was disappointing. the bar had very limited hours , made it hard to enjoy a relaxing evening.
