I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. While the rooms were spotless and bright, having two double beds for just my girlfriend and me was a downside. The nice furniture added a nice touch to the spacious rooms. The staff was always friendly and quick to assist, making the service truly phenomenal. The convenient location in downtown was great for exploring the area, although the noise from the tram was a bit bothersome. The dining options were not the best, but the fresh and local products made up for it. Overall, a comfortable stay with a few minor drawbacks.
