Adequate stay with some drawbacks

outdated furniturebasic breakfast

The room felt a bit outdated. The furniture seemed like it had not been updated since the 80s (i didn't like that). Breakfast was also fairly basic. The pastries were just laid out in a basket. I probably would not stay again considering what i paid.
