Excellent Breakfast and Clean Rooms

breakfast buffet parking spaces

The breakfast buffet offered many options, including fresh fruit and cooked-to-order eggs. The rooms were very clean, and the hotel has parking spaces available in the yard. The courtyard sits close to the river, providing beautiful scenery. The staff was friendly and made a good impression.

The room was quite warm when I arrived. I had to turn off the radiator and open a window to cool it down. The sink had no plug. Shaving in the morning was difficult.

Location

9/10

The B&B is just outside the historic central business district. This allows for an easy walk along the river, granting quick access to city center. The river provides a scenic backdrop and a peaceful setting.

breakfast variety convenient location

the breakfast included a variety of choices and eggs prepared to my preference. the location offered convenient access, placing me within a short drive to the city center (about 5-10 minutes) and other amenities.

the entire house is a bit dated, and sounds sometimes carry through the building.
