The hotel is conveniently located near the city center. I found it easy to walk to major attractions. The breakfast selection offered a good variety! I especially liked the fresh pastries. The room was clean and spacious, with good facilities.

The underground garage's driveway was quite narrow. I would not recommend it for larger cars.

The staff was very helpful. They made check-in smooth. my room had a large window that let in plenty of light, a really nice feature. breakfast offered a good variety of options and the dining area was bright and cute!

my room's door handle felt a little loose, so that was concerning. some of the light fixtures weren't working properly and that was inconvenient. there weren't many plug sockets available near the bed!
