Reviews
Despite the above still giving 5 stars due to exceptional service. The front desk staff, specifically Kasper, went out of his way to try and help us brainstorm solutions for putting through an insurance claim for a chipped windshield. Thank you again!
Joking aside, nice hotel for me, good distance to everything, good service and nice staff.
There is a proper restaurant on the other side.
