The location was superb. A quick walk led straight to the main square. the breakfast buffet offered diverse choices catering to various tastes. leaving early one morning, i received a thoughtfully prepared breakfast box at 6 am. it was very kind of them.

Fantastic City Stay

The staff was excellent. They were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast included many options, and the food was AMAZING!!! We could store luggage in the storage room. I appreciated that there were no issues checking in early because my room was ready.
The double bed was just two single beds put together, and the duvet was also two single duvets. The pillows were super small. Made it quite uncomfortable to sleep.
