Location, location, location, allows quick walking distance & access to all of the historic city, shops, the castle, restaurants, coffee & breakfast venues, etc. Onsite parking is easy and a clean room & welcoming staff is apparent. Our room appeared to be fully renovated & modern. I would have rated at 5 stars but one of the shower sliding doors needed to replace the water stripping so that the water will not leak onto the bathroom floor. I reported it to staff who were responsive & did attempt to repair it but it needed a more permanent fix to avoid leakage. We were there for 3 nights, hopefully it was a better fix after we left. Overall, we will return in the future as it is a good hotel & great location.

The parking area is not very convenient and easy. You have to depend on an available space, most of blocked without a car parked. You have to wait until a hotel assistant comes to open one up. The hotel has no elevators. I have a bad knee and the only rooms available upon my check in were rooms for pets on the first floor. I needed assistance for the luggage up the stairs. The staff were nice. The location is good, pretty sunrise in the front of the hotel. Other than that, I won’t be staying there again.
