the location offered a lovely canal walk behind the hotel! plenty of parking spaces were available. the room featured a good size and the bed felt comfortable. someone was on duty during the night, and they could see parked cars from their location.

the air conditioning was stuck on a certain temperature so it was icy cold in the room. it took far too long to be looked at.
