I couldn’t recommend this hotel enough. The location, the staff, cleanliness and just everything was amazing. You’re walkable to the train station and plenty of buses, but a ton of things to do were nearby and just walk. The staff were so nice and attentive. The breakfast buffet often a great selection. The cherry on top was the later check out time than most hotels.
