i stayed for two nights in a standard double room. the room had a mini fridge, a safe, and an iron with a board. the hotel offered dinner and i found the dinner to be good. breakfast offered a good selection of food, but it lacked an egg station.
i found a nightlight in the bathroom that could not be turned off. that was slightly annoying.
