Business trip
"Business trip, good check in, was there early around 11am but room was ready. Rooms were spacious and clean, pillows not the best on the bed! Breakfast was a little sparse in the offering, no German sausage which was a surprise! Overall a good hotel, nicely located near the city centre."
