mixed feelings about my stay
loud bell unhygienic shower mat
the breakfast was good, it used quality products.
I really disliked the checkout process. A loud bell rang at 9:55 am, five minutes before the scheduled time. this felt unnecessary and a bit rude. I have never experienced such a thing. the shower mat looked unhygienic, i didn't feel comfortable using it.
