basic breakfastlingering odor
I found the breakfast offering rather basic. THERE was no live cooking station for omelets (a small thing, I know). I also noticed the plates and cutlery seemed to have a lingering odor. I suspect it's related to the dishwasher. I only got one complimentary bottle of water per day in my room. This is not enough.

breakfast buffetlate checkoutsauna equipmenttight spacesparking ticketbudget value
The breakfast buffet offered a wide selection. The price point seemed reasonable, especially since children eat free. their late checkout policy proved quite convenient. the gym featured good equipment, and the saunas looked very well kept.
the parking was somewhat difficult due to very tight spaces. the hotel did not include the parking ticket, even though i parked underneath. i believe other hotels might give better value for a similar budget.
