The location was very central. It sits steps away from the main church. I could easily walk to main streets. Breakfast offers many choices. I appreciated the fresh bread and wide variety of options. Staff helped me store luggage. It was useful because of my late departure.
The shared bathroom lacked a bit of cleaning. The trash can filled up quickly .
