The team at reception was helpful. We checked in early at 10:30 am. the washroom had great water pressure in the shower. It was also spacious. i appreciated the short tram ride to the main train station. Denner was also very close.
i booked a premium double room online, but my family booked the same room through the hotel and got a much bigger space. i did get a credit. the bed was not very comfortable.
