The location near the main square was convenient. It made accessing historical sites quite easy. The staff at the front desk helped with directions to various locations. The tiled floors in the bathroom even had heating..
The pool area was quite small. A sign indicated a maximum of four people at a time. The breakfast buffet seemed limited in its choices. Some dishes needed refilling more promptly..
