Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Very nice room - renovations seem somewhat recent - and friendly helpful staff. It's a bit north of the city centre - about a half-hour walk which we didn't mind. It's probably the closest hotel to the centre with free parking if that's a consideration for you. In any case, we'd definitely stay again.
