"Il soggiorno è stato eccellente a differenza di quanto mi aspettassi, dopo aver visto le altre recensioni. Devo dire che questo hotel è molto sottovalutato. La camera era pulitissima e più grande delle misure standard, mentre il personale è stato davvero professionale. Il check-in virtuale è di un'innovazione incredibile (mai visto un servizio simile in giro nel mondo). Tutto ha funzionato bene. Wi-Fi di alta velocità e bagno pulito. 5/5. "
