good locationpoor cleaningbright room

the location worked well for my plans.

the room cleaning was not good. i requested a second cleaning, and the reception arranged a deep cleaning. i think a 4-star hotel should have higher standards from the start. the blinds let in too much light, so i woke up too early.
