Limited mentions in the reviews (one positive comment about breakfast). Treated as the dataset average due to sparse direct feedback.

Good breakfast offering, hotel bar and parking available; negatives include paid/limited parking, no refrigerator in some rooms and limited individual climate control.

Mixed: breakfast available and some positive notes, but lacking in-room fridge, no laundry facilities/service, small elevators and occasional maintenance issues; toiletries sometimes not provided unless requested.

Positive notes about lounge and breakfast, parking and lounge available; however repeated complaints about air-conditioning malfunctions, missing toiletries/fridge and parking cost lower the score.
