Overall rate 3/5 stars. Room had nice beds, clean bathrooms, good breakfast and friendly staff! The only cons there was no pool and sauna and on the website it shows pictures and on the description, and elevators were slow and sometimes not work. Also after hours will not find parking in the main lot, there was additional parking in the back.
