My parents and I stayed for 5 days in October 2025. We were able to check in early on our arrival day which was quite a relief after an overnight flight. The staff was very friendly and helpful the entire stay. The location was excellent, a couple minutes walk from the city hall bus stop, 10 minutes from the shopping district, and lots of small shops and places to eat in the area. There is an ice cream shop 2 buildings down which was an excellent way to end each day. Highly recommend.
