I found the staff to be amazing and very helpful . The room was large and very clean. Bottled water was available in the fridge. A welcome drink upon my arrival was a thoughtful touch. The breakfast was fantastic, especially with the great variety of available options.
I noticed a slight lack of flexibility from the reception when requesting a short extension for the check-out time.
