The staff at the front desk gave a warm welcome. the location is central, and the parking was very convenient (a bit tricky to find at first). the hotel has a traditional style, showing off its character. i enjoyed drinks at the bar. The staff there was attentive and professional.
the bathroom definitely needs updating. the bed was too soft, and the pillows were limited. there was only one radiator in the room, and it felt cold (i could have asked for another blanket though).
