The location and bathroom

Water was left in the kettle. The bed was extremely uncomfortable and the room needed a vacuum. There were no staff working past 5pm.

El aparcamiento funciono muy bien. No habia desayuno pero no era un problema para nosotros. Podias tomar cafe o te en cualquier momento. La localizacion perfecta

La calidad de la maquina de cafe podría ser mejor aunque todos los cafes de maquina saben raro. La verdad es que no tenemos nada negativo
