Pretty good hotel, a little far out of the main area to visit. I would look at some other options more towards the center of town if I was being touristy. For a business hotel, this is great.

Location is perfect. Staff is great - very friendly, helpful, and welcoming. Rooms are typically European-sized. Beds are comfortable. Really appreciated the complementary water dispenser - still or carbonated. Just a delightful stay.
