the hotel was conveniently located near the train station (only 8 minutes away). the bus from the airport stopped right in front of the hotel. the breakfast had many options and good variety.
i was disappointed with the parking situation. the website mentioned town parking a short walk away. the exit route from the parking was very narrow (driving anything wider than a small car risks damage). i wish the website had mentioned this issue.
