Room was clean. Hotel was clean. Had a delicious restaurant. Restaurant staff were so friendly when I had an opportunity to interact with them. Check in/our was easy. Gave me recommendations for food etc. About 15 mins walk from the main center but an easy walk. Evenings are a bit quieter so if you don't like that then stay closer. I was a female solo traveler and I had no issues walking into town for dinner/errands/breakfast. By a beautiful river and park. Loved this area !
