sweet staffroom serviceconvenient timefalse advertisinggarden wallunhappy employee
the staff was sweet. the breakfast came to our room, and you are able to choose the time you want it. it comes to your door.
the room was not as described. i booked a garden view but got a wall with trash cans underneath. management tried to extract hundreds of euros more for the garden view i already paid for. the front desk woman said she did not want to be working at the hotel anyway.
