10/10 Excellent
"Probably some of the most professional hotel staff that I’ve dealt with in a long time….. front desk, restaurant, bar.👍👍👍 Tons of free parking. Quick and easy access to the expressway. An easy €10 cab ride to-from downtown. (Pay the taxi directly. Do not use Uber. Rates are fixed.)"
