The room had lovely cotton bedding. breakfast was very good with plenty of options. the location was very central. I could easily walk to nearby attractions.

The rooms were quite small. I felt a bit cramped. paid parking was available, but it had a strange policy. i had to wait in line at reception each time i wanted to use my car, it was a slow process.
