I’m not sure whether it was because I booked through the Hotels. com website, but my room was arranged on the second floor facing the street. The air conditioning in the room worked intermittently and often made loud noises. The front-desk staff at check-in did not seem very welcoming, though the service at check-out was good.

Other than Marie in the breakfast room, the staff were not welcoming or friendly. Our room was clean and well appointed, but some of the common areas were dirty and needed more attention (bathroom door handles, etc.). The breakfast needs more options for more healthy options such as natural (plain) yogurt and multigrain bread. CheeseSomese
