mixed feelings about my stay
terrible parking unfriendly staff
the room was clean and of a decent size, i must say.
The parking was terrible, there were only a few spots. i ended up walking quite a distance with my luggage. the breakfast was not good at all. A real letdown for such a expensive accommodation. the staff was unfriendly.
