Breakfast was fresh. Coffee selection is good. Our room was clean. Room has a smaller TV but it worked fine. The staff is very nice. There's always fresh baked cookies at the reception counter. The location is great. Rooms are very quiet. You can hear people talking in the hall but when they go into their room you are unaware of any nearby guests.
