wonderful short trip

friendly staffconvenient locationlimited varieties
The staff was very friendly. They readily helped with all requests. the room featured a tv with many channels available! i found the location quite central for accessing different parts of the city. the tram station was also very conveniently nearby.
The breakfast offerings seemed a bit limited. There were few varieties of bread available each morning. the coffee machine was also out of service for one day . this caused a small inconvenience as i prefer a good coffee in the morning.
