spacious room smooth check-in electric charging comfortable bed

the room was spacious. the check-in was smooth and the lady was helpful with registration for the city. we took a tram to the city centre. we could use the electric charging for our car. the main bed was comfortable and i appreciated this.

the floors were cracking, like it would be a mansion of the 16th century. not only in the room, but also the corridors above. it was very disturbing and could wake you during the night.
