Breakfast was good and overall an excellent experience. The last time I stayed here was around 2008 when the hotel wasn’t even open.

The rooms are clean, comfortable, and pleasant and the suite is highly recommended! Only downside: the hotel is a bit far from the city center, so you’ll need a car or taxi to get around.
