Nice hôtel if you don't mind the location. Rooms are spacious and comfortable only lacking some basic amenities like tea, coffee, condiments etc. Breakfast is great with many choices. Wish they had hot water and tea available all the time. Entering the hotel is problematic. Google shows the wrong entrance. Entering the parking is dangerous because you block the traffic while you wait for the gate to open. Elevator is quite small and could be a problem when there is a big group. Rooms are okay but lacks some basic furnishings like a small table by the bed. It was nice having a safe box. Bathrooms are nice and clean. Overall could be a good place for a short stay.
