the location was convenient to important places. breakfast had good offerings and was efficiently run. my room, a classic double room view, was compact, though well thought out.
the room was completely unheated when i arrived late one evening. i waited about an hour before the heating started. staff had to provide a fan as an alternative source of heat. the sofa bed was also quite uncomfortable.
