Check in by an unfriendly, subtly condescending staff member. Room was on the city side on the first floor above the street. Smokers below on the street caused room to smell like cigarette smoke all night. Noisy room with construction sight directly across a narrow street. Small bathroom. Best part of our two night stay was the beverage center on each floor. Would not recommend this hotel.

Love the hospitality of the staff- friendly, helpful and professional. I just wish they had the door sign requesting privacy- the cleaning staff opened my door twice while I was in my room.

I stayed in a single room, and I didn't expect it to be so tiny. It doesn't have a closet. If you are a light sleeper you have to know it is noisy. You can hear people from the street, and upstairs neighbours walking. It is very well located, everything important is walking distance. A bus station that takes you to the train station just 1 min away. The staff is very nice. They have tasty snacks and coffee in every floor.
