the location was good. it was near the lake and plenty of restaurants were close by. the self-controlled ac worked well in the room, which i found to be a plus.
the smell of cheese was intense. it was in the reception area and the corridor, disturbing. also, the electric sockets did not fit the plugs for the tea pot, and there was no chance to make a warm drink.

I found a couple of things disappointing. The minibar prices felt excessive considering the convenience store next door offered the same items much cheaper. the pillows were quite firm, I needed to fold them over just to get minimal support. That hardly, I must say.
