They gave us a room for disabled people, wich was not propper. But they didn't even prepare the room to receive guests, since the dresser that should contain the minibar was empty and the drain of the shower was clotted. One electricity plug didn't work, the bathroom door didn't close, and there was no wi-fi signal. We spent the afternoon... More

Additionally, I'm not too fond of having to pay for hotel car parking though... More
