the rooms were modern. they were clean and well kept. the food was good, and the value for money seemed fair to me.
The check-in process felt a bit unnecessary and data-heavy. i found the demand for id quite odd. They noted the id number for the file. the room was too warm, and i couldn't seem to adjust the temperature.
