Excellent City Center Stay

good breakfast choiceideal locationfree parkingsmall shower
The breakfast offered a good range of choices. It included hot dishes and continental options. The location was ideal for exploring. I easily walked to attractions. Free parking was a definite advantage. I left my car on-site .
The ensuite shower was a little small for comfortable movement. Space felt limited, which affected my overall experience. This impacted the functionality of the bathroom.
