It is very nice, clean and kept relatively small, which is normal with the conditions for a hotel.
It includes a shower as well as a bathtub, which is located quite deep. The temperature control is absolutely flawed. There are no areas of hot and cold or anything that helps. You only have one knob to turn, which regulates both temperature and strength. In the warm area, however, the knob always falls down so that the water gets too hot. At the optimum position it will not stand a second. So I had to permanently hold the knob in the shower and in between the water jet.
In addition to the pleasantly large flat screen TV from LG and the many sockets, there are USB connections in the night light, so that you can also tap without an adapter as a European.
Air conditioning, heating and a refrigerator are also available.
The air conditioning/heating is way too noisy and can wake you up constantly in your sleep. It has in fact always cooled at-15 °c outside temperature and a set temperature of 21 °c, and blown very cold air in. However, it is not possible to adjust whether it should only heat or not. That's pretty bad.
The Wi-Fi/WLAN works very well, is relatively quick and easy to set up.
Speedtest result (05.01.18, 8 p. M. Local time) : Download: 5, 7 Mbit/s upload: 9, 6 Mbit/s ping: 7ms very reasonable values!
The beds are comfortable.
The view is great.
What I didn't like is the parking facilities. If you can't find a cheaper one in the vicinity, which is really not that easy, then you have to pay about 39-42 for 12-24 hours. That's a hefty price.
