Old but well kept hotel. There is a big supermarket just next door, there are a lot of restaurants in walking distance and the city center is around 10 minutes on foot. I would not expect the car park to be more than double the price of a city center public parking space, so plan and book accordingly.

The room was roomy and clean. Some of the towels were a little old and could soon be replaced. One mattress needs to be replaced now. It sags, leans to the left, and is bent ⅔ of the way up from the bottom on the left side. Complimentary shampoo, conditioner and lotion would have been nice.
