I had a pleasant stay at the hotel, which is located conveniently close to the town center and main train station. The room was clean and spacious, which I really appreciated. However, the breakfast didn't quite meet my expectations, and I found it lacking in variety. The amenities were nice, but I did find some outdated aspects in the facilities, which didn't feel quite luxurious. Still, for the price I paid, it was fair value overall.
