perfect location central location nice breakfast clean rooms no lift second floor low ceilings
The location was perfect, right by the center. Breakfast was really nice with amazing views of the mountains. The rooms were nice and clean!
There was no lift and my room was on the second floor. This was not accessible at all with luggage. I also hit my head, very hard, on separate occasions because the room had very low ceilings.
