El hotel no está en el centro de la ciudad pero tiene estaciones de bus que te llevan en pocos minutos o si te gusta caminar sin 10 min. Tienen la playa den lago a menos de 5 minutos a pie y hay varias áreas de juegos para niños si van con hijos pequeños

Very pleasant female receptionist when we checked in with bikes but she was unable to offer secure bike storage without checking with her supervisor which she did. Problem resolved with bikes stored in conference room. Thought about spending a second night and suggested to the male receptionist in the morning that a solution would be to store them on the balcony. He was very abrupt and very rude saying it was not possible. At that moment we decided we were not going to spend another night there. Would suggest some serious customer service training. Breakfast and staff were great. Would not recommend this hotel if you were travelling by bike.

We were assigned to room 204 even though the hotel was not full. Directly below our room is a bar that plays music until midnight. The hotel is great - just make sure you ask for a room on the fifth floor opposite side of the bar!
