The staff was friendly and helpful from arrival to departure. The room was clean with modern decor, and I found the bed great (I slept like a log!).
I found the soundproofing insufficient. I could clearly hear conversations in the adjacent room, a bit disruptive (maybe it was just that night).

The staff was friendly. I was able to store my luggage easily upon early arrival. The breakfast service was good (especially the pancakes!).
My room was a little cramped. I would have expected an armchair and a coffee table for the price.
