We recommend this place 100%."

"The hotel prides itself on the wonderful breakfast it prepares and serves, it’s fit for a king. The hotels location is in walking distance to shops and restaurants. Unbeknownst to us our room was on the third floor accessible up a narrow staircase, a bit of a challenge for a 83 yr. old couple."
