the breakfast had good options.
I booked a room, explicitly mentioning my birthday week, but i got a room facing a side street with bins. during check-in, the receptionist seemed more like quizzing me for my exact birthday date than offering a warm welcome. a chair in the room also had a small metal pin sticking out from under the seat. it pricked my daughter's finger. It was a hazard!!!
