Great location close to main street full of restaurants cafes etc. Room was very clean and spacious, super comfy bed. Given the size of the hotel, the rooms were also soundproofed so very quiet. Check in was quick with convenient pre checkin registration. The only downside was the WiFi unstable but that won't stop us from staying here again. It's fab
