Overall, the stay was well. Location was great( a lot within walking distance) and staff were friendly. Lots of parking options nearby. The sleeping area was clean and comfortable.
The one improvement would be the restroom area cleanliness/ smell
Park in the parking garage at the hotel property. Take the elevator to the 6th floor and you’re right there at the Rock hotel! So convenient. Facility is very clean and staff very helpful. Rooms are small, but if all you’re going to do is sleep there then it’s perfect. Also there’s a grocery store on the ground level.

Nice hotel. Outside is ok but hotel itself is very nice. Perfect for family or group of 3. Clean and well appointed. Comfortable beds and super efficient private bathroom. Thank you.
Nice, clean downtown hotel. Short walk to Dom, downtown, train, and so on. Liked it, and friendly helpful staff. Decent breakfast too, and a nice patio for those who like to sit outside a little.

Great location, close to the train station and cathedral. Bit tricky to find the entrance. I think I was upgraded from a single to a standard room, it had a nice view of the cathedral. Pretty basic though, no fridge, kettle, chair, or table. Fine for a one-night stay.
The staff was very courteous to us, and the room was just what we needed. The staff also helped us get accustomed to the area, and helped to make us feel right at home! The property is located very close to the Christmas Markets, and quite close to the train station as well.
