Location is very close to city center, service has been good (our shower pan wasen't draining and it was corrected the next morning, willing to let us print some activity bookings at main desk). Small details missing - some of the doors don't close well, stove/oven range isn't balanced so it wobbles, cheap toiletries, not the most efficient furniture placement (e.g. two single armchairs face 2 single beds) that are an alleyway to old school television set. Overall, stay wasen't bad, but you don't feel at home. You can pay to do laundry, but use the highest hot cycle for drying. Our clothes did not dry at permanent press and it was too humid to dry well by air. Did not use mineral or spring water pools
