6/10 Good

House keeping was poor
Frank, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

Somewhat far from the old town

The hotel was very good, but they would charge extra for using the pool. The mini bar was more like a box for storing things. It would never cool. The service desk was usually empty. We had to ring the bell for assistance. It was very far from the old town. Once in the old town, it was very hard to find a parking spot.

8/10 Very good

Personnel accueillant et professionnel. Bon hôtel mais parking payant. Grande chambre confortable mais sale sous un lit. Erreur lors du check-in (chambre déjà occupée) mais résolution rapide ! Petit-déjeuner en buffet immense.

It was a great location with only 10 min taxi to the airport however it was dated.
Nikola, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The hotel overall is nice, clean and the staff was super friendly. However, what surprised me was that the pool was for an additional fee. I do not know if Orbitz forgot to mention about it or the hotel. Also, no mini fridge in the room was unacceptable. Breakfast was tasty but pricey. The location is quite good, close to mall and convivence stores. Also, be prepare to pay for the parking lot.
Arkadiusz, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Für eine Nacht akzeptabel. Etwas abgewohnt, Klimaanlage funktionierte nicht, Spülung im Bad auch nur manchmal. Frühstück im Nachbarhotel, genauso wie das Restaurant. Parkplatz kostenpflichtig. Auf keinen Fall 4 Sterne. Freundliche Mitarbeiter, werde aber nicht noch mal dort buchen.

Functional hotel, quite good location towards the airport. Maybe a bit outdated, but alright to stay for a night. Breakfast is in another building. Swimming pool is in the nearby hotel, which is good, but the info should be provided by reception.

10/10 Exceptional

Just great quality

Just great hotel: excellent price quality rating. Good beds, basic but good bathroom. Parking place you need to pay a fee. Swimming pool you also re charged extra. Location is great at one of the main roads around the city, shopping center nearly. Location is also quiet (even with the road nearby).

El alojamiento estaba bien por la ubicación y precio aunque el personal no era del todo amable.
Laura, 4-night trip

6/10 Good

Riktigt dåligt och sunkigt hotell. Framgår inte att en ska behöver gå ut för att äta frukost. Spa,en pool. Ingen mysighets faktor . Bastu trasig Frukost var riktigt dåligt . Inte ätbart! Ser otrevligt ut. Enda som var bra att de var nära till flyget
Seppo, 3-night trip

Close enought to city

20 minutes to city centre by bus or taxi. Basic room. One day got tidied up by this my clothes on bed put in floor and beds made even though not tucked in but just straightened. I could have done this myself. Swimming pool is additional cost and next door so is the breakfast which is also in next door hotel.

Meget tomt og mørkt hotel. Værelserne var slidte. Af en eller anden årsag skulle vi alle 3 dage hen på nabo hotellet og spise morgenmad. Dog var maden her ganske udemærket.

Good for the price. Car rental on site. Bit of a taxi ride to downtown
Anthony, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great value

Perfect hotel for the price, friendly staff at reception. Hotel does not have a pool however, which I find interesting since pictures are included in the Hotels.com page and facilities also mention a pool (and I double checked the hotel info in the app after asking reception for it).
