Somewhat far from the old town

The hotel was very good, but they would charge extra for using the pool. The mini bar was more like a box for storing things. It would never cool. The service desk was usually empty. We had to ring the bell for assistance. It was very far from the old town. Once in the old town, it was very hard to find a parking spot.

Functional hotel, quite good location towards the airport. Maybe a bit outdated, but alright to stay for a night. Breakfast is in another building. Swimming pool is in the nearby hotel, which is good, but the info should be provided by reception.
