the location was really central. it made it easy to get around, i liked that. the breakfast room offered amazing views of the lake. i also found that they had nice vegan options for breakfast, i enjoyed those.
the walls seemed thin, i could hear noises from other rooms. the hotel parking was not very convenient. it was located about 500 meters away, i thought it was very far away. the staff weren't cute.

I thought the location was superb! the half-marathon finish line was just by the hotel. It was convenient. the hotel allowed late check-out, a huge plus for me. i could run, shower, pack, and leave without rushing. the sauna was a nice touch too.
the pool area was quite small, a bit disappointing, it was small. the rooftop views from the restaurant and pool were fabulous however.
