mixed feelings about this stay

water bottle feeearly check-out
The hotel was in a great location, though some things bothered me. they charge for water bottles, which seems cheap. I had to buy water at a grocery store to avoid the 2.5 euro fee. also, checkout is at 11 am. After some pushing, they let me check out at 12. breakfast was ok. All in all, it feels like they're cutting corners.
