the breakfast was alright. the location was quite good.

I had issues with the television. It would not work. the staff mentioned a plug problem, yet it seemed unresolved for quite some time (i overheard other guests mentioning the same issue). the central heating also wasn't functional. I got a small heater, but it looked pretty unsafe.
