Nice comfy hotel

A nice comfy hotel with good looking reception and dinning areas. I enjoyed my night there. Had breakfast in the morning and it was lovely. Only downside is I requested my receipt by email and left my details @ reception but didn’t receive it as promised.

Great location, walking distance to train station and downtown shopping/restaurants. The service was great and the breakfast was good. The hotel seems to be in the process of renovating. Our room was comfortable though the mattress was a bit hard for my taste. Slept very well though.
