The location was convenient for my travel plans. The breakfast included delicious coffee from a Lavazza machine, and I kept refilling my cup. The provided bed was quite large. The shower had good temperature control and water pressure.
The walls seemed rather thin. I could sometimes hear noises from neighboring rooms.
