free parking helpful staff wide selection great service
The free parking was a big plus for me. The reception staff impressed ME with their helpfulness. Nicolett really went out of her way. My room included needed tea and coffee. The breakfast buffet had a wide selection with great service.
The duvet was rather thick for warmer temperatures (like a polar ice cap!).
