It's a good but basic hotel for an overnight stay. Had a small but clean room...

I found the hotel and room to be most suitable for my purposes (a short stopover for business purposes). Undoubtedly the best surprise was the range and quality of what was on offer for breakfast. The view was pretty special as well. Will stay there again.

The worst thing about this hotel is that there are not people working there after a certain time in the evening. We arrived at 11:00 P. M. and had to talk to someone on the phone to give us a code to open the door. The person didn't know where we could park our car, and we had to ask some guests who fornunately arrived at the time we were at the lobby. Our family room was nice, with a bunk bed for the kids. We could hear noise from the street during the night, though. The location of the hotel is good, with stores and restaurants close by.
