"Great location (close to a train station) and very helpful staff. In terms of cleanliness and overall experience, this was one of the better hotels in their class that I stayed in recent years. Breakfast buffet was well stocked (although, I missed my bacon…) and everyone would fine something for themselves in the offer. Once again, great hotel and thank you for hosting me."
