central location and helpful staff

warm welcome supportive staff satisfying breakfast

Camilla, the receptionist, welcomed me warmly and gave helpful instructions at check-in. the hotel staff remained supportive when i was stranded due to weather. They kept us updated and showed patience. the hotel offered a simple but satisfying breakfast each morning (i especially liked the fresh bread).

The room lighting was somewhat dim. It was a little hard to see well at times.
