i found the location quite convenient. it allowed quick access to many points of interest (i enjoyed the proximity to everything). the room upgrade on arrival was a nice touch. the option to leave luggage after checkout allowed more exploration before my train.
the requirement to pay for parking was unexpected. it added an unanticipated cost to my stay. i recommend guests confirm parking details beforehand.

The location was convenient to the train station. Breakfast had warm options and i thought happy hour with boardgames was a nice touch. The bar had a good atmosphere and a wide selection of drinks.
I found the room quite small. There was hardly any space to put my luggage. For a short stay this may work, but not for longer.
