Reviews
Some points like difficulty to get hot water for the shower in the morning and the staff at the reception could be improved.
Cleanliness: Decent
Environment: Acceptable
Service: Fine
The service we experienced during our stay was the real bright spot. Every morning when I went down to get two cups of coffee to take back to the room, one of the breakfast servers always ran to hit the elevator button for me as my hands were full. Also, a special thanks to Leon Aschenbach at the front desk who went out of his way to make sure we had the nicest room he could offer us. We really appreciated his hospitality and extra efforts.
