Wonderful Stay in a Fantastic Location!!!

generous breakfastcity centerhelpful stafftraffic noise
The breakfast was generous. There was a great variety of cereal, milk, different breads, spreads, meats, cheese, yoghurt, and fruits! The location was also good. It was only a short walk to both the train station and the city center. I really appreciated the friendly and helpful staff.
The room was quite hot, and opening the windows let in a lot of traffic noise from the nearby main street.
