The breakfast menu offered MANY choices. The food was excellent and perfectly cooked. I was satisfied. The hotel is near all locations I planned to visit. I also appreciated the spot.
The extra charge for a cappuccino may not be a good decision.

The breakfast menu provided a good choice. I enjoyed the cooked breakfast with poached eggs. The staff were friendly and efficient. A parking pass was given to me. It allowed me to park in the area.
The shower had mold stains on the ceiling and shower tray. I found this unpleasant. There was no lift, and my room was at the top of the hotel, so I had to climb many flights of stairs.
