clean room good restaurant
The room was clean and spacious. The restaurant offered very good dinner and breakfast.
The doors get locked at night, and the alarm system feels a bit odd.

The location was good and the staff helped me.
I found some aspects disappointing. The room was very hot, so I opened the window at night. This resulted in a lot of noise (I couldn't sleep well because of it).
