FABULOUS stay!

buffet breakfast sauna facilities friendly staff early check

The buffet breakfast WOWED me with its variety and quality. I found many delicious options each morning. I made good use of the pool and sauna. These facilities are clean and well-kept. The staff was friendly and helpful. They always greeted me with a smile and were quick to assist with any requests. The early check-in WAS a lifesaver, especially after a long journey.

The lift seemed a bit slow. I had to wait a few minutes sometimes.
