My stay at the hotel was just what I needed after spending a week in a camper van. The rooms were big, bright, modern, and exceptionally clean with nice, comfy beds. The location was convenient for my meeting nearby and had good connections to the entire city, although a bit far from the center. The dining experience was fairly good, and the service was top-notch. The hotel offered great value for money with comfortable accommodations.
