the staff were so friendly and helpful . breakfast offered a nice choice in a lovely setting and it was not too busy. i could easily walk into town, even with a wheelchair, and i enjoyed the short walk to the river. it was like a dream.

The hotel wifi gave me some trouble. It didn't work with my phone, two-factor authentication was enabled, so it was a bit of an inconvenience.

the location was great near the city center. the room faced a courtyard away from the road, so it was quiet. the buffet breakfast had a good selection.

Internal painting had been done recently. i could smell strong paint fumes in my room. It was almost unbearable. i had to keep the windows open, but the road outside was busy.
