Wonderful Stay!
fresh milkample toiletriesunmanned reception
The room included fresh milk. I found plenty of toiletries available. The system with unmanned reception and key lockers worked well. The communication in advance via email was good.
The bed was two single beds attached together. This created a ridge in the middle. I found the single mattresses uncomfortable. I could feel the springs.

The location was GREAT, very convenient to everything. The bedding and towels were of FANTASTIC quality. I appreciated being able to grab extra supplies from the cupboard. It was helpful.
The shower was a bit inconsistent. It took some time to get hot water. There were no staff onsite. Communication was only via text or email. I found that the pillows were a bit too hard for my liking.
