really good visit

ideal locationfriendly staffbreakfast buffetmisleading information
the location was fantastic, with access to many points of interest. i liked that appealing restaurants were within a few blocks. the staff was friendly. the breakfast buffet offered various excellent options. overall, i found it a good value. rooms were nicely furnished and i found the bed comfortable.
The website says an arrangement with the car park is in place. Max 20 euro for 24 hours. i paid 35 euro for parking around 18 hours. leaving the car park results in another payment, which i found ridiculous. i dislike misleading information.
