the location was fine, very close to the center. the breakfast had a good selection.

I wasn't happy with the room i got. it felt quite outdated and lacked any real warmth (and i hate it when a room feels impersonal). the shower had issues. Water leaked from the seals, and the water pressure kept fluctuating. also, the staff didn't seem very friendly or cute, which definitely affected my experience.

The room was spacious and clean. The breakfast buffet had many options for everyone. Its location is really amazing. Everything in the center is reachable by foot. the hotel provides a parking garage.

The air conditioning did not work effectively. The room remained hot despite setting the AC to a low temperature. The Wi-Fi connection was also quite terrible. Loading basic websites was a challenge, and watching streaming services was impossible.

The hotel has a pretty good location. It makes it easy to reach key attractions.

I experienced several issues. The air conditioning was NOT effective. The room remained uncomfortably warm even with the AC set low. The welcome drink policy also felt inflexible. I was offered only beer or wine, not alternatives like Coke or Sprite, since I do not drink alcohol.
