excellent location nice staff great design closed restaurant understaffed restaurant missing menu
The hotel location was excellent. The staff was very helpful and nice. Their service was really something. The bathroom had a great design. The shower was right next to the bathtub.
I went to one of the hotel restaurants. The Taki restaurant remains closed for summer. That's bad. Hanse Stube destruct was the only one open. It seemed understaffed. I waited for 30 minutes for a food menu to arrive in my room but it did not happen.
