The staff was wonderful. Problems were resolved quickly. The room was very dark even with all of the lights on. The carpet was due to be replaced, . Thats probably why the lights were so dim . The breakfast was very good, cooked options are available along with pastries a ,fruit, and, cheeses

I loved my small attic room, very cozy. It had everything I needed. The bed was supremely comfortable. The tub was very deep and I used that every night! The staff was very friendly. I love the location in the student part of town. There are lots of nice places to eat and drink that were friendly and low-key.
