a decent experience

fine buildingchristmas decorationsbeautiful roomcramped receptiondirty toiletswarm drinks
the building is fine. the christmas decorations made it look beautiful (i got to see it in the snow). i booked a basic room but received a large, beautiful room near the pool.
the reception area seemed a bit cramped and not particularly inviting. the toilets in the changing rooms were not clean, but the rest of that area was acceptable. the drinks ordered at the bar were warm.

The breakfast buffet had a good selection, especially fresh fruit. THE room was quite spacious with a comfortable seating area and a large desk. I enjoyed having ample space for working and relaxing. The bathroom featured both a tub and a separate shower. This setup was quite convenient.
The television remote control required new batteries.
