Room is good. Cleaning always good. Nothing in minibar not even 1 water bottle. Bad service from reception. They woke me up to ask me to pay for 1 hour late check out, and they brought the machine up to the room with them. Never seen that before. Bad customerservice and treatment but room is good

Comfortable hotel, stayed multiple times, mixed overall, as service can be so so and sometimes room is run down. This time everything was a good standard although front desk staff are still not the friendliest, but helpful if needed.
