It was one night stay and for that the hotel is perfect. We booked executive room so I thought it would be something special but it wasn't. However the room was clean and spacious. As bonuses we got 2 bottles of water and bathrobes. Staff (I've met only one young gentleman at the reception) was VERY nice and helpful =)... More
