An elevator shaft near our room was under construction. Once this is completed the hotel will be even more comfortable.

Good breakfast and friendly staff. Room was a little dated but decent. Bathroom and shower were clean. Bathroom sink was outside, so we didn't have to wait to brush and get ready when others were taking a shower.
