Windows in the room cannot be opened, so “fresh” air is delivered only via AC, which is turning on automatically with a very bright light. My son (5 y o) had really issues with sleeping because of that. The fridge in the room did not work, we spent 10 days in this hotel with the kid, so broken fridge was as an issue. They tried to repair it twice, what did not help. The last day we did not have a hot water in our room, the staff allowed us to use the shower in another room.. but all together the impression from the hotel is so-so

One night stay

I had a good one-night stay at the hotel. I was extremely tired when I checked in and was easily able to fall asleep and stay asleep. The hallways were quiet and the room was very comfortable. The wifi worked well, the bathroom was nicely stocked and clean. There is no mini fridge but other than that, the room has what I needed. A fridge is nice but not a deal breaker.
