The on-site parking was free and convenient, a great start to my visit! Check-in was quick and helpful, with excellent local recommendations given by staff. The food was AMAZING!!! I had room service for dinner, it was reasonably priced, and really hit the spot.
The shower curtain was a bit clingy in the bathroom, slightly annoying.

I had a wonderful stay. the hotel offered easy, complimentary on-site parking, a great convenience (very rare in city centers!). check-in was quick and efficient, with the staff providing excellent local recommendations. i particularly enjoyed the convenience of having both a pub and a restaurant on site. The room service dinner was delicious and well-priced. i appreciated the substantial breakfast buffet, included in my stay. the strong shower pressure was a nice touch after a day of sightseeing.
the heavy bed linen was a small inconvenience for me.

Location and Breakfast for the Win!
free parking friendly staff breakfast decor
I found free parking at the hotel a total bonus. The staff at reception, the bar, and the restaurant were all really friendly and helpful. I loved the breakfast. The room itself had such nice decor, and the food tasted excellent. The hotel's location proved very central to everything in town.
My room featured a really small window located up high. This let in very little natural light. I think better ventilation would be beneficial.

The reception staff were very cute and quick to assist with check-in questions. The bar staff made great recommendations. I really appreciated the efficient and attentive service throughout the hotel, too.

prime location short walk huge room old bathroom clingy shower curtain high shower
The hotel has a prime location for those traveling without a car. It is a short walk to both the train station and the city center. Check in went smoothly, and I had a huge room. The room included coffee, tea, and bottled water.
The bathroom felt old and dingy. The shower curtain was very clingy, and there was nothing I could do about it. The tub shower combo was very high off the ground, so getting out was dangerous. The room was hot, and there was no air conditioning.
