Solid Choice for a City Visit

convenient locationhelpful stafflarge varietyquick access
The hotel's location is convenient. It is a short walk to the train station. The staff at reception were helpful. Breakfast offered a large variety of foods.
The bar selection was minimal, with only one type of cider available, and the parking fee felt too high for a short stay.
