“We had an appointment at GOP. We saw this unperfect hotel nearby and liked the idea of imperfection. :-) The service was very nice and they gave us upgraded rooms. The toilet wasn't imperfect, it was supersonic! Warmed toiletseat, treatment for your bottom. You can go to the restaurant for the meals. The were good and there is enough choice for all eaters even vegans.”
