The breakfast offered fresh ingredients. The location offered easy access to local attractions. The staff were helpful with directions and local tips, admirable.
The refurbishment work caused some noise disruption during the day, it was considerable. The room decor felt somewhat dated. The limited parking spaces near the hotel were a nuisance.
