The room was an Executive Room. The bed was very comfortable. Breakfast was delicious (especially the pastries!).
The bathroom was small. The shower had a cheap shower curtain. I could hear noise from the corridors.

Excellent Gym and Convenient Location

I found the gym to be a standout. It spans two floors and features every piece of equipment imaginable (a real treat for fitness enthusiasts!). The pool and spa area were nice too. The hotel's location is also convenient as it is close to the town center.
