limited breakfast high parking fee
I found A couple of things disappointing. the breakfast selection was limited (I REALLY wanted more variety). the parking fee seemed high at 30 euros per night. It is infuriating considering there was to be free parking available in front of the hotel at certain times. It all left a slightly bitter taste after what started as A promising stay.
