the location was central. the room was very clean upon arrival. i found the shower to be fantastic with great water pressure.
The stairs leading to the room were steep. A rail on both sides would enhance safety.

I did not dine in the hotel. a bistro is located nearby. i could hear staff, but the noise levels never disrupted my stay. The sound was not constant.
