The location is unbeatable. I found myself just a short walk from the vibrant city center. the self-check-in was convenient, operating smoothly through the machine located at the back. parking came at a rate of 15 eur per day, a worthwhile convenience. wifi access was reliable and readily available.
i noticed a slight inconvenience, the room felt a little small.
