Acceptable stay with some issues

mold smell no soundproofing
The breakfast buffet had many options, including fresh fruit.
I found a persistent mold smell in room 3107. It was strongest in the bathroom. Staff mopped, but the odor remained and caused throat irritation. exterior walls lacked soundproofing, so street noise was noticeable.

public gym heavy use
The breakfast buffet was acceptable , offering enough variety to start the day.
The gym was supposedly open to hotel guests , but outsiders also used it , was good. It lacked the exclusivity I expected. The constant heavy use made it difficult to enjoy the facilities , especially the sauna. This setup really detracted from the overall experience.

The breakfast buffet offered a wide selection, and i enjoyed the fresh smoothies. There was also vegan soja yogurt available. i found parking quite easy. I always got a slot right in front of the hotel. paying 40 cent and hour felt very cheap, especially considering the convenience.
The air conditioning did not cool the room down effectively. the ventilation in the bathroom was completely without function, so there was always a lot of moisture in the room. i did not find any clamps for the clothes rack on the balcony. The wind threatened to blow the laundry away.
