Simple convenient hotel in the city. Fabulous breakfast and always warm in the hotel, very important after a night trip. Modern bathroom and plenty of hot water. Only grumble was there for 3 nights and room wasn't cleaned or towels changed despite asking for daily cleaning on check in. All in all ...
