Decent Hotel, Minor Issues
sticky floor unsealed windows
The breakfast was quite good.
The room had some cleanliness issues. The floor felt sticky. The windows also were not properly sealed, so a howling noise came through during windy conditions making it hard to sleep. The location isn't great either. The only terrace available overlooked a parking garage, not exactly scenic
