Excellent Stay with Great Amenities

The apartment was modern and very clean. The outdoor furniture on the terrace added to the experience. Reception staff were very friendly and swiftly resolved any requests, such as getting extra towels. I greatly appreciated the convenient parking that was always available.
The apartment did not provide basic supplies like washing liquid. I needed to purchase garbage bags and other essentials from the supermarket. A small starter pack would have been useful upon arrival.

loud musicnight reception
I faced issues that soured my stay. Noise from a large group was unbearable. They partied loudly above my room late into the night. The hotel had no nighttime reception for assistance. I found the lack of immediate support frustrating. I had to leave to find sleep elsewhere.
