Nice hotel, modern comfortable rooms, friendly staff, easy check in check out. Breakfast was nice, but there was difference between Sunday morning and Monday morning - less people, less choice. Amazing view from upgraded room we had and from breakfast teracce. Small comlpliment (biscuits, fruit plate, card) devoted to our birthdays would be nice. In room too many lights, that remain for night, so for sensetive sleepers I would recommend sleep masks, smell of cigarette in bathroom area. To the cemter not so far, but on the way back you need to go up)). Special thanks for assistance to reception men team. Keep going!
