the breakfast buffet had wonderful options. the front office staff were helpful (they provided excellent recommendations). i could reach the train station after a short walk. the train took me to the airport with ease.
the bar near the reception was crowded. it created a noisy atmosphere upon arrival. i missed a quieter welcome.

a fantastic hotel experience

I found the check-in process quick and easy. The staff was kind and helpful (a warm welcome always makes a difference). the tram was only a short two-minute walk away even though the hotel is near the technopark area was great. the lobby area was spacious and inviting.
I noticed the hotel lacked on-site parking, it took me over thirty minutes to find a spot. parking was expensive as i was using a public garage underneath. I wish they owned some spaces .
