The location was central! Staff at the registration desk were hospitable.
My room faced the street and noise was intense. I heard horns and trucks unloading goods very early. noise from adjacent rooms. The mattresses seemed overused and the Internet was weak at night. Breakfast lacked some food and cutlery, disappointing.
