Really good Stay in the City Center
convenient location friendly staff nice balcony
I found the location convenient, right next to the theater. The hotel communicated all stay details before my arrival. Friendly staff gave a warm welcome. The room had a nice balcony where I sat and enjoyed the local view.
The breakfast was slightly limited for a restaurant that claims higher standards. It could offer more variety without extra charges.

Excellent Hotel in a Central Location
fresh options secured parking
The room I stayed in was spacious. The breakfast offered many fresh and delicious options. I especially liked the fresh fruit selection (they were ripe!). All staff members were cute and accommodating. The hotel provides secured parking. This was a huge plus for me.
The hotel is in a street with restricted traffic. Garage use is necessary, but it is not included in the price. I found the garage to be a bit distant from the hotel, needing me to walk my car there myself.
