Heating in my room stopped working after 1 or 2 days in a 7 day stay. Hotel kept saying they would fix it, but this dragged on for the remainder of the stay. Was freezing at night and pretty disappointed about the lack of action. Ended up with a cold and later on unable to visit father in hospital as I was sick. Other than that, the breakfast buffet was not bad, room was fine and plenty of generic restaurant options close by.
