excellent hotel, clean, neat, small but very cozy. For me the location is important, the price and quality match, as well as the ability to open the window (I sleep with the window open). What I didn't like is that when checking out on a late flight from New York, the luggage storage works until 6 pm, but you have to pick up your luggage before 5:30 pm. This is very inconvenient, because after that we had to walk with our suitcases and arrive at the airport earlier

Everything was great but our room really had hardly any drawers to put clothes in. And we had a problem with a shower and sink. Shower was to hot and sink had no hot water. Wasn’t bad enough to complain though.
