warm water online checking
The location was ideal as it was close to the train station. The coffee and tea corner was convenient.
The warm water did not work at the sink. I requested a second pillow that was not in the room. I had to ask the night porter for it. The online check-in requires all data and ID uploads every time, even after multiple stays this year.
