i had inside parking without any hassle. the hotel location allowed me to walk to main areas since i only had a few late evening hours to explore. the breakfast was really good! it started my holiday very well.
the room was not cleaned for two days. this occurred despite a request at the reception. i did receive compensation, but the overall experience was lessened. the bathroom felt cramped. the air conditioning was terribly loud, just like the trams, you hear them on the 10th floor.
