Charming Stay Near the Station

large roomspacious feelwarm temperature
I found the room large, a real plus in this city. The open floor plan gave a spacious feel. I appreciated the warm temperature inside, especially given how chilly it can be elsewhere (a welcome surprise!).
The lack of a mini-fridge was a slight inconvenience.
Rooms
9/10
My room featured nice wooden floors. It also included a very comfortable bed with plenty of towels and good sheets, so I found the experience restful.
Location
8/10
The hotel is situated near the car parking garage, very convenient if you arrive by car. Proximity to the train station and bus stop makes travel simple. I liked being slightly removed from the main tourist area.

A Romantic Stay with Superb Accessibility!

quiet areaideal locationheated rack
The location was ideal. It was wonderfully close to the bus station. This made getting to and from the airport so easy. The hotel is in a quieter area, a blessing after long days of exploring. I found the heated towel rack especially good!
The air conditioning in my room wasn't as effective as I'd hoped, but it was a minor issue.
