acceptable stay with some drawbacks

usb portsclean roomheating issuehot water
the room was very clean. i found usb ports in the sockets at the bedside, this was a big plus. most hotels have limited sockets.
the heating was switched off during the night. hot water was also off, so i had to wait in the morning for it to heat up. i left early because of this.
