the hotel is located within walking distance to the city center, and i found bike rentals available right at the hotel. my room had excellent quality beds, and i slept very well. i especially liked how quickly the radiators warmed up the room in the morning. i also appreciated the free weekend parking.
The shower lacked shampoo. I am used to having toiletries included in hotels..

the breakfast selection, it was okay i guess. the usual suspects were present.
i was excited about the promise of a former prison, but the echoing noise was TOO MUCH. even normal conversations sounded amplified and annoying. sorry, i mean, room. it was like EVERYTHING was amplified.
