easy walkclean hotelhelpful stafftram station
The location allowed for an easy walk to the tram station. I walked to several restaurants for nice dinners. I found a modern, clean hotel . I thought the staff was helpful during my time.
The minibar lacked basic amenities, like a small spoon for stirring tea.
