non-functional air conditioninginsect influx
the absence of room service was inconvenient. i also found the air conditioning in the room to be non-functional, resulting in reliance on an open window. this led to an influx of insects. the hotel seemingly operates as an airbnb, which i found substandard.

The hotel was quite cool despite the heatwave. The staff were friendly and helpful. Parking at the hotel was useful. I liked the short walk to many restaurant choices.
I wish the hotel had given better information about local driving restrictions. It would have been helpful!

Acceptable, but Some Issues

good locationdated decorexpensive parking
The location was acceptable. I could walk to the train station.
The room's decor felt dated. The air conditioning barely worked. It was quite stuffy. Parking cost an extra 30 euros per night, a fee I found excessive.
