Badezimmer war nicht gerade sauber, da es zumteil Gäste gab, die es nicht interessiert hat auf die anderen Rücksicht zu nehmen. Freundliches, hilfsbereits Team. Tolle grosse Küche, welche sehr sauber war. Leider etwas laut da man recht zentral gelegen ist. In kurzer Gehdistanz Bahnhaltestelle. Einkaufsmöglichkeiten liegen in der Nähe.
