Very nice location, next to the city center, the room was very warm and cozy, we had to turn off the radiator from the room because it was too hot :) Breakfast was good, with many options, overall it was a nice one-night stay. We found parking rather far from the hotel, but that depends on the time of the arrival, the day etc. but it's good that...
