Don't get a room facing the street!
The hotel is in a great location, the staff is very nice, and the breakfast is good. But make sure you do not get a room facing the street. There is a bar right across the street with loud people that closes at 2am, so I did not get any sleep. The hotel was nice enough to move me for the second night, but that first night was horrible. The beds are also not the most comfortable, but decent.

Nice spot, located close to several tourist attractions. Easy to walk to lots of places, and a really good continental breakfast.
We showed up 4 hours prior to check in due to travel times they let us store our bags. Very nice of them, would definitely recommend!

It is well-located, within walking distance of the train station, and other points of interest. There are many options for shopping, dinner, groceries, laundry, and everything you need. The facilities are old and basic, but they are of good value for a short stay for bead and breakfast.
