great hotel, minor hiccup

helpful staff clean pool regular buses relaxing space
The breakfast included many options and the staff was VERY helpful. the swimming pool was a nice size and it was kept clean. i used the bus stop near the hotel. Buses came regularly and it was very convenient. the reception area offered a REALLY relaxing space.
the parking required an additional fee per night. at that price, i believe it should be complementary. it was unexpected and added to the overall cost.

large choice complimentary upgrade
It was my third time staying here, I will return for future visits. The breakfast had a large choice and it was easy to check in and out. Taxi service is available from the reception. I received a complimentary upgrade upon check-in, it was a great bonus.
I noticed the bath was rusting and it had white tape in several places. The bathroom floor and door had damages. The first room assigned featured a rusty bath and a non-working fridge.
