I have stayed here several times and in different rooms. They are under renovation and these rooms are more to my liking. I have had no problems with the bookings or checking in. Just make sure that you ask at front desk during check-in or during your stay if you need extras of anything. No major problems with the service. There has been (in the rooms with 2 beds) one firmer than the other and they have protective covers on the beds. They fall short when it comes to cleanliness though. But just ask and they will tend to anything that needs attention ASAP.
