questionable definition few hills
The staff were happy to suggest some local cafes away from the tourist traps, which I guess was fine.
The room was supposedly large and comfy. I think they have a different definition of 'large' than I do. The hotel is also located in a place that requires you to expend some energy getting back because there are a few hills.
