The hotel has a very central location in a quiet neighborhood. Friendly staff were always helpful. The breakfast buffet has a very good choice of a range of ingredients and is served until 10 am. There is also secure parking (I booked it in advance).
The main stair carpet was not clean. The rooms need updates. My room had cheap furnishings.

Staff were attentive and very good, ensuring all our needs were met. They helped with sorting out parking for two vans. I was very impressed with their professionalism and willingness to assist with any requests (during my stay).
