Wonderful service at bistro Stefan. They quickly accommodated my party of 19 people attending for dinner after my wedding. Service was excellent and our waitress over performed while under staffed.

Nice to have a restaurant with bar, as well as a breakfast area. Hotel is dated. No updates in what seems like some time. Nothing stood out as fantastic or absolutely terrible. Room was dark, damp and other than a few cobwebs was clean. Also price was expensive for what it was. Average!

Comfortable room and bed. Breakfast had below average choice, cleanliness and service. Location is a little far from most tourist sites for bicycling but an easy 12 min. drive to most tourist sites.

A good hotel like this requires an elevator. My Wife and I are Seniors thus it is tiring to climb stairs carrying luggage. We like the hotel and now know to book a first floor room when we next visit. The “No Elevator” comment was common at breakfast. This is a very good centrally located hotel with one major requirement. Thank you for listening.
