The only issue I had it was after my stay. I called the hotel when I realized I left a special connector for my phone in the room. After a long wait and explanation to two different people, nobody called me back for a follow up.

The staff was ok, but felt a bit cold and not welcoming, even when i checked out. But the hotel itself, you can tell it was new and i loved the interior, very nice breakfast and i slept very good.
