Adequate stay, some drawbacks

handy location nearby restaurants fresh ingredients dated room scruffy bathroom ineffective drainage

The location was quite handy for reaching the main square. I found several restaurants nearby. The breakfast offered a good start to the day. I liked fresh ingredients that were available.

The room I stayed in felt dated and quite basic. There were few nice finishing touches provided. The bathroom seemed scruffy, and the shower drainage was not very effective.

quiet location spacious room warm baked goods

I really loved how close the hotel was to main attractions. It was easy to walk to the main sights! The family room had plenty of space for us. Breakfast was also a treat. I liked the warm baked goods they had.

the hotel IS a little old, and some updates would make it even better.
