Had a great stay here with my wife. Really nice to be right in the square with restaurants and shops close by. Our room was really nice and the house keeping was great for the two days we were there. Our room had a really sunny deck to relax on which was appreciated. We ate at the union restaurant and we were well looked after there too. Was a relaxing stay would highly recommend.
