The breakfast buffet offered a wide choice. I particularly appreciated the honeycomb. The room was newly renovated and spacious. The rooms here are spotlessly clean (very important for me).
I found the reception area a little too busy at peak times.

The grounds were beautiful and I had a fine view from my Classic Double Room. The gym was modern and fully equipped. I also enjoyed the pool.
I was expecting more from a 4-star hotel. The service was subpar. My room wasn't cleaned until late afternoon. breakfast eggs from the buffet were rubbery. The option to order freshly cooked eggs existed, but they came to me cold!
