The hotel is located in a quiet business area but is within walking distance to all attractions and restaurants, making it convenient. The rooms are luxurious, warm, and comfortable with a fantastic rain shower experience, but the car parking is quite expensive. The dining options offer a superb experience, especially with the delicious French toast, while the hotel lacks views and has dull surroundings.
