"Good little hotel. Nice staff and well located. Mobility was an issue. The elevator stops on half floors, so there are a few stairs. Parking was easy with several cheap options across the street."

"Excellent location near the train station. The studio was clean and comfortable. The bedding was of good quality. The service was great, as was the breakfast. The only downside is the TV, which does not connect to the internet; as a result, we couldn't watch YouTube, for example."
