Reviews based on Breakfast
Perfectly situated, good for a decent walk to the shops and sites. Loved the quiet room, comfortable bed. Awesome assortment of toiletries provided. Lots of parking. Bar and food available. Sorry, don't think the breakfast price is worth the offering but it's convenient.
This was a excellent hotel to stay on our trip. The rooms are a bit small, but the staff was excellent and accommodating. The morning breakfast was fantastic and fulfilling. Often one of the best meals of the day. Would definitely stay again.
