EXCELLENT location and friendly service

free parkingtasty breakfastloose pegs
the location is fantastic , just a short walk to the city center and local attractions. Parking BEHIND the hotel was free and quite convenient. The breakfast was also very tasty , and I enjoyed the wide variety of options available. The staff provided helpful information about local restaurants.
the room decor felt a bit outdated. I noticed loose towel pegs in the bathroom , which need some maintenance.
