Rooms were great and up to date, location was also perfect! Breakfast was good but I wouldn’t pay $30 euro per person for it. Only downsides were that parking was expensive (32 euro) and the garage didn’t work so we were stuck inside for 10 + minutes and never got some sort of refund. In addition, I think there was some sewage leak and it had a strange smell on our second day.

I booked for 4 adults and specifically requested king and 2 twin beds. I ended up with a not so great king and a lousy uncomfortable sofa bed that my adult kids had to share. It was advertised as a family suite with 2 separate rooms but the rims are very crampy and the overall sqft was less than a regular room in other hotels. Hotel amenities were ok.
