Adequate stay overall

spacious roomgood layoutextra pillowsuncomfortable mattressesfaulty heatingair conditioning
The room was spacious and had a good layout. I appreciated that extra pillows were available in the room. The breakfast at the Novotel was quite good (it had a decent selection).
I found that the mattresses were not comfortable. The heating and air conditioning did not seem to be working properly. It was very cold in the room.

Adequate Stay with Minor Issues

clean roomconvenient locationhot roomtemperature control
The room was clean and had necessary items. The location is convenient, too.
The room was too hot and the temperature control did not work. The only choice was to have the window open as far as it could go, it was not much help.
