I appreciated the central location. It allowed for easy access to the city center. The provided underground parking had a reasonable rate, a big plus. Our room included a balcony. the shower worked well.

I found the bed to be quite hard. This was a significant inconvenience.

Breakfast had limited diversity and lacked local food options. I did not find many healthy choices. The pancake machine was out of order and only a domestic toaster was available. The breakfast felt basic.
