punctualairport shuttleseveredraft
the hotel offered an airport shuttle, it proved punctual and convenient for my early morning flight.
I encountered a significant problem with the room's temperature control. The radiator blasted heat making the room uncomfortably warm, but after turning it off, a severe draft made the room very cold. this made it difficult to sleep well. there was no middle ground.

the shuttle to the airport was timely and helpful, which i expected.
i paid for breakfast, but when i arrived at 10:07, i was refused. they said breakfast was over, even though coffee and cereal were still available. then, i had to pay €20 for parking, which i found awful!!! external charges on top of paying for the stay and having lunch in the hotel the previous evening just seem ridiculous.
