Everything was good except for lack of parking.. the light was full when I had to park on the street feeling a little bit uneasy about that

We had a lovely stay! The area is pleasant and there are cafes, shops and parks within walking distance. The room was tidy and comfortable. Exactly what we needed!

Lots of parking front and back. Breakfast was fresh and more put out if running low. Only complaint I could have was that the pillows were too soft for my wife and I. We bought new ones which we could use at home anyway so no big deal for us.
