Wonderful stay!

The room was spacious. It featured a king bed and a separate seating area. I found a minibar stocked with local beverages and snacks available in my room. The hotel also offered secure parking with direct room access for €27 per night, VERY helpful for my needs.

The breakfast price seemed steep at €27 per adult, which did not match the value offered.
