direct connection gluten-free bread
The hotel has a direct connection to a shopping center. This provided convenient access to various retail and dining options, it was great. The breakfast featured a wide assortment of choices, including gluten-free bread. My husband was very happy about it.
The elevators were insufficient, and sometimes waiting took too long. It was slightly annoying.

breakfast variety room view late check-out check-in process double room twin room
The breakfast had many options. I found a nice variety. The view from my room was very nice. The room was also clean. I was allowed to check out late at 14:00.
Check-in began at 14:00. I arrived at 01:30 the next morning, paying for the entire day. The booked double room was not available, unfortunately. The staff offered a twin room for that night. They suggested I move to a more suitable room the next day, but I declined.
