i found the rooms very clean. they were also quite spacious. breakfast was very good. fresh fruit, cooked meat, cheese, and eggs were available (i liked the pancakes). the coffee was also very good. i appreciate the good selection of teas too. there were probably around eight types.

i noticed the staff recommended leaving the room key at reception when going out. when i returned, nobody was at the reception to give me the key. all the room keys were accessible for anyone to snatch from behind the small reception desk. it took about fifteen minutes before another staff member assisted me.

the breakfast buffet had a diverse selection, including fresh fruits and an assortment of pastries. the coffee machine provided a variety of hot beverages, complementing the meal. several kinds of cheese and cold cuts were available, too.
